Specially to remove obstacles to health, purify bad karma & improve healing. Helpful for deceased - purification.
3rd Nov, Sunday morning 10:30am to 12:30pm
Medicine Buddha is an enlightened being who has unbiased compassion for all living beings. He protects living beings from physical and mental sickness and other dangers and obstacles and helps them to eradicate the three poisons – attachment, hatred, and ignorance – which are the source of all sickness and danger. He is a Buddha Doctor. The practice of Medicine Buddha is a very powerful method for healing ourself and others, and for overcoming the inner sickness of attachment, hatred, and ignorance. 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. If we rely upon Medicine Buddha with pure faith, we will be freed from rebirths in the 3 lower realms, and shall definitely receive the blessings of these attainments.
BENEFICIAL FOR DECEASED TOO
This Medicine Buddha Puja is not only very helpful to all of us, it is also extremely beneficial for the deceased. By helping to make offerings on behalf of the deceased members, and dedicating the merits to them, it will help them for a smoother rebirth, and most importantly, we pray for them to be able to come into contact with the pure dharma in their future lives. May they achieve a precious human rebirth.
Note: You may bring your Medicine Buddha amulets and/or Medicine Buddha Vases for recharge of blessings. Please bring your water bottle to receive the Medicine Buddha nectar during the puja.
