The Medicine Buddha Blessing Ceremony is a very special ritual which plants the seeds of enlightenment of all the Healing Buddhas within our mind-streams. Long ago the Medicine Buddha made a special vow to help all beings during these times when it is so difficult to lead a peaceful and healthy life and to sustain a spiritual practice. For this reason its benefits are extremely swift and powerful.

During the afternoon session, Venerable Segyu Rinpoche will give teachings on the path of self-healing as it is practiced in Buddhism, and how it leads to inner peace and the ultimate state of enlightenment.
