The morning program will include an Abhisheka (water blessing) and initiation into the Sanskrit version of the Medicine Buddha Mantra, instruction for self-healing, and healing others.The afternoon program will include "Purification of Food, Liquids, and Air" using the techniques of the Chinese Hanmi Esoteric School of Buddhism.

The "Medicine Master, Lapis Lazuli, Light King Buddha, Extinguishing Disaster and Prolonging Life Dharma" meditation practice has been a core teaching of Buddhist mystery schools for over a millennium.Practitioners used this dharma for healing, protection, and prevention of illness and disease, as well as to extinguish disaster, extend life, and bring forth good luck.

The complete teaching has historically only been taught to initiated disciples in the esoteric mystery school tradition.  Because of the recent appearance of new diseases in the world, the Living BuddhaDechan Jueren (Master Yu Tian Jian) decided to break from the tradition and transmit the complete teaching to non-disciples.  
The general public now has the opportunity to learn this powerful dharma practice, previously available to only a select few.

Seating is limited, so please register early to ensure acceptance into the workshop.
A diploma will be issued for those who complete the workshop.
