THEG-CHOG NORBU-I GA-TSAL
March 23 to 29, 2008
Meditation on the
Medicine Buddha
The practice of Medicine Buddha is a very powerful method for healing our self and others and for overcoming the inner sickness of attachment, hatred, and ignorance.
If we rely upon Medicine Buddha with pure faith we shall definitely receive the blessings of these attainments. If one meditates on the Medicine Buddha, one will eventually attain enlightenment, but in the meantime one will experience an increase in healing powers both for oneself and others and a decrease in physical and mental illness and suffering.
Subject:
During this seminar, Venerable Lama Norbu Repa will give a series of detailed teachings on the practice of Sang-Gyay Menla.
Following a brief explanation of the origin of this Sky-Dharma, the teachings will provide profound insight in the various processes involved in the sadhana and enable correct meditation on the deity.
Lama will give the Oral Transmission which he received from His Holiness Karmapa and Most Venerable Thrangu Rinpoche as well as late Venerable Dabsang Rinpoche.
Lama Norbu will also transmit the various mudras and mantras of this sadhana as practiced in the Karma Kamtsang tradition.
