Teachings from the Medicine Buddha Retreat

"Because bodhisattvas have unbelievable merit, they can understand the limitless skies of benefit and qualities that Medicine Buddha has. The fortunate one who has good karma and much merit and the one who has miraculous psychic powers is able to believe in this, and they should cherish this Medicine Buddha practice. The devas of the white side will be very happy with any sentient being who reveals this Medicine Buddha practice to other sentient beings or talks about the qualities of Medicine Buddha. Those devas will protect and guide any sentient being who spreads the Medicine Buddha practice.” —Shakyamuni Buddha

Kyabje Lama Zopa Rinpoche gave these teachings during a Medicine Buddha retreat held at Land of Medicine Buddha in Soquel, California, from October 26 to November 17, 2001. Edited by Ailsa Cameron, this book covers an amazing range of topics.
