Focusing on Root, Sacral, and Solar Plexus chakras for winter healing & the blessings of a new year!

As we approach the end of 2024 and step (fearlessly) into the new year, we do this while re-minding ourselves that the very key to experiencing a luminous 2025 is by being true to the here and now.…

MEDICINE BUDDHA (SANGYE MENLA)

MONTHLY VIRTUAL MANTRA & MEDITATION SITTING

Monday, October 28th (and the last Monday of every month)

7:00 p.m. - 8:00 p.m. EST on Zoom

Hosted by Sr. Sharifa V. Meytung (CTBC / PBA)

Medicine Buddha (Sangye Menla) is a powerful practice for awakening healing energy and supporting the healing process for oneself and others. It helps in overcoming challenges of the body, as well as the inner challenges of dissatisfaction, clinging, anger, and delusion. In other words, to meditate on the Medicine Buddha can help us relieve physical and mental sufferings for the benefit of all beings.

During our one-hour meditation sitting, we will follow the visualization beautifully outlined in the CTBC prayer book on screen. This will include a mala recitation of the Medicine Buddha mantra: (Tayata) Om Bekandze Bekandze Maha Bekandze Randza Samungate Soha.

Everyone is welcome in this monthly healing practice, as we experience the infinite blue rays of healing light within each of us, the lapis light of Medicine Buddha.
🙏🏾💙

Philadelphia summer heat. Body-core temperature. Urban desert. Noise and hectic. I sit with the awareness of all of that and more in this season. Whatever you may be sitting with over the next months, I hope that by engaging with the following practice, you might experience a little lightning...a little soothing...a bit of a balm for your journey.🌞🧡
