Khenpo Samdup Rinpoche will bestow the transmission and instructions for Medicine Buddha who encompasses the healing essence of all the Buddhas. It is said that anyone hearing his name or reciting his mantra (TADYATHA OM BEKHANDZYE BEKHANDZYE MAHA BEKHANDZYE BEKHANDZYE RADZA SAMUDGATE SVAHA) will not be reborn in the lower realms.

The healing experienced by practicing Medicine Buddha goes beyond curing our physical ailments. It also refers to overcoming the pain of suffering and the cause of suffering referred to in the Four Noble Truths. In other words, it is medicine that helps eliminate our defilements as we progress on the path to enlightenment.
