Medicine Buddha Retreat

Medicine Buddha is the Buddha at the Eastern Buddhafield of Pure Lapis Lazuli. He represents the extraordinary healing power for overcoming the inner sicknesses of attachment, hatred, and ignorance. Thrangu Rinpoche has said, “by doing these [Medicine Buddha] practices, we actually bless the environment and all the beings in that environment.”
