Healing the Mind: The Blessing Empowerment of Medicine Buddha

Medicine Buddha is a Buddha Doctor whose function is to release living beings from outer and inner sickness by bestowing blessings upon them. By receiving this special blessing, we make a deep karmic connection with Medicine Buddha — the Healing Buddha — whose compassion and wisdom have the power to purify illness, suffering, and the inner causes of unhappiness at their very root.

Through the empowerment, the teacher will guide us through beautiful prayers, visualizations, and meditations that awaken our own healing potential. Following the empowerment, there will be commentary and guided practice showing how we can integrate Medicine Buddha into our daily life and meditation.

This is a profound opportunity to receive blessings for the healing of body and mind — for ourselves and for all living beings.

Everyone is welcome to attend — no prior experience is necessary.
