The Medicine Buddha is also known as King of Lapis Lazuli. Lapis is deep blue in colour and is a healing stone.
The purpose of the Medicine Buddha practice is to heal physical, mental and emotional pain and distress. On an inner level it can help us overcome the three poisons of attachment, aversion and ignorance.
During this three day retreat we will recite the Medicine Buddha Sadhana which includes visualisations and mantra recitations.
The retreat will also include teachings on the three poisons and Bodhicitta.
