Online practice to help beings around the world overcome the coronavirus pandemic
Practices of Parnashavari, Medicine Buddha and special prayers - Online from 5 April
Khenpo Ngawang Dhamchoe will lead weekly on-line meditation practice on Sundays from 10am to 11am, starting on 5 April. A link to these sessions will be made available shortly. The meditations will be on the deities Parnashavari and Medicine Buddha and include recitations of the prayer The Prayer that Saved the Sakya from Epidemics by Thangtong Gyalpo. Khenpo la recommends meditation and prayers are of more benefit for people at this time, to help sentient beings. Therefore Khenpo la will be leading these very profound meditation sessions for three weeks starting on 5 April. Please invite your friends, colleagues and family to these online sessions. Goddess Parnashavari is viewed as the Wisdom of Amoghasiddhi and a manifestation of the Compassion of all Buddhas. She is invoked to protect us from contagious diseases such as epidemics. Lord Medicine Buddha is the ‘King of Lapis Lazuli [Blue] Light’. Also known as ‘The Supreme Healer’, Medicine Buddha alleviates suffering using the remedy of his wisdom. |
