Medicine Buddha Mini Retreat
With Ven Lozang Yönten: 10th & 11th July
This “Mini Retreat” will combine practice instruction with guided meditation using the Medicine Buddha Sadhana and the Medicine Buddha Puja. There will be time for questions and learning the broader context of Kriya Tantra. These practices will be led in an open way, suitable to people both with and without Medicine Buddha empowerment, though having committed refuge in Buddhism is strongly recommended – this is not a secular practice.
Learn about the mantras and meaning, about the specific Medicine Buddhas and what they assist with. Enjoy a weekend of resources for wellbeing and deep practice support.
