Medicine Buddha Retreat
October 19 - 22, 2017
Lama Lobtsul Rinpoche will lead a retreat on the Practice of the Medicine Buddha, the River of Lapis Lazuli, extracted and compiled from the Nam Chö Nyid. Through this prayer, we pay homage to Medicine Buddha, the Healing Master of Lapis Lazuli Radiance, whose body is a distinctive color of Deep Blue. Medicine Buddha is also known as Bhaisajya Guru, the manifestation of the healing energy of all enlightened beings.

Suggested Donations:
$10 per session
Please Note: The suggested donations indicated are just that - suggestions. These donations are used to pay the operating expenses of our temple (supplies, electricity, water, etc.) and for maintaining this magnificent property. There is never a "charge" for the Dharma. However, it is customary to make monetary offerings to our teachers, to support their Dharma activities (from which we all benefit so enormously), and to help bring the benefit of those activities to other beings.
No one will ever be turned away for an inability to make a monetary donation. There are always many opportunities to donate your time and energy, such as helping set up for practices or events, cleaning the shrine room after events, assisting the chopons, helping clean the grounds and facilities, bringing offerings of candles, incense, flowers, etc., to be used in the temple.
