Today, many of us experience anxiety, stress-related conditions, chronic illness, and many other health challenges. Even when we are not personally ill, we often accompany family members or friends who are going through these situations.
This retreat is centered on the Buddha Medicine practice, offering a profound way to cultivate inner stability and compassion, while also intending to support health and balance for oneself and others.
Throughout this 3-days program, we will listen to selected recorded teachings from Chögyal Namkhai Norbu, in which He explains the meaning, method, and deeper understanding of the Buddha Medicine practice.
Dr. Phuntsog Wangmo will complement these teachings from the perspective of Tibetan Medicine, sharing insights of this traditional knowledge, and she will also be leading the guided sessions and collective practices. Beyond her medical training, Dr. Phuntsog Wangmo is an experienced practitioner who has deepened this method for many years and regularly guides Medicine Buddha practice for many people from all over the world who gather monthly. Having the opportunity to study and practice closely with her during this retreat offers a rare and meaningful occasion to deepen one’s understanding and experience.
