Medicine Buddha Empowerment
“And until all those who are sick
Have been cured of their illness,
May I become their medicine,
Their doctor, and their nurse.”
— Shantideva
Medicine Buddha is a wise and compassionate Buddha Doctor who skillfully treats our outer and inner sicknesses with remedies that have no unpleasant side effects. Since beginningless time, we have all experienced physical illness as well as the mental pains of anger, intense cravings and ignorance and all the sufferings to which they give rise. By relying upon Medicine Buddha, we can reduce and finally eliminate these pains forever.
During the empowerment ceremony, Buddhist nun Kelsang Chogden will help us make or deepen our connection with this supremely skillful Buddha Doctor so we can receive his powerful, healing blessings. With his transformative energy, we will gradually solve our problems, improve our love and wisdom, and become a source of healing for ourself and others.
