Medicine Buddha

Medicine Buddha Empowerment
Date: May 23rd, 2008, Friday

His Holiness the 17th Gyalwa Karmapa will visit KTC-NJ and offer the Medicine Buddha Empowerment, following his public talk at 2:00 PM.

The Medicine Buddha Empowerment is considered to be the most powerful blessing for healing, dispelling sickness and for awakening the innate wisdom that lies within every individual. Medicine Buddha is one aspect of awakened mind, which is the practitioner's vast, real, unconditioned mind.

To recite the Medicine Buddha Mantra brings inconceivable merit. Daily recitation of the mantra has the potential to pacify all negative karma and guard against rebirth in the three lower realms. It enhances one's practical and spiritual efforts for the healing of oneself and others.

The practice of the Medicine Buddha meditation and all the other ways of connecting to the blessings of the Medicine Buddha are said to be much more effective when one has received the Medicine Buddha Empowerment.
