In our tradition the Medicine Buddha represents healing on all levels - physical, mental, emotional, subtle and beyond. When we do the Medicine Buddha practice which is a visualization and offering practice, or when we recite the Medicine Buddha's mantra as we'll do for 24 straight hours in this event, we are turning all of our awareness inside and focusing on health and happiness. We find that by doing this it can have a profoundly possitive effect not only for those we focus on, but also our own selves.
Over the course of 24 hours, our meditation community from around the country and world will practice the mantra of the Medicine Buddha while visualizing those who are in distress in a happier and healthier state (THE happiest and healthiest state of being). When we do this it is not just a mere muttering of special words, but an intention and wish that all beings be freed from suffering and enjoy peace and happiness.
We welcome you to join us! Please include a photo and name of the person who you dedicate the practice and prayers, and we will add them to our slideshow that will run for 24 hours straight.
Options to join us in-person Friday night or online (or both!) are available.
