The Annual Northeast Dharma Celebration

Medicine Buddha Empowerment & Teachings on Self-Generation

Healing our world begins with healing our mind. There is a close connection between our mind, our body, and our experience of our world. By healing the three poisons of our attachment, anger and ignorance, we start to heal everything else around us and gain the ability to help others.

Medicine Buddha practice is a special meditation method that has been used for thousands of years. In this course we will learn how to guide ourselves in this practice, how to use it to heal our mind and body, and then how to use this to benefit others. We will look at the radical practice of Tantric self generation, where we transform our experience of our self, world, and others through imagination and wisdom. It will leave us uplifted and inspired that we can truly change for the better, and that this change will make a real difference-for ourselves, our communities, and our whole world.

The empowerment of Medicine Buddha will be granted by Kadam Morten Clausen. An empowerment is a special ritual practice where we make a connection with Medicine Buddha and receive his blessings. This profound, guided meditation practice gives us a unique connection with Medicine Buddha that will ripen our best qualities to come about and give us success in the practice.

Everyone welcome!
