In early 2022, Lama Zopa Rinpoche advised us to make the extensive Medicine Buddha puja regularly on auspicious days. He sees this practice as a way to bless the country while it is undergoing such a very difficult period.
We have been holding them regularly since May and this is a partial report on the first ones. They are 3 hour pujas we are currently conducting in English. As soon as we can do, our plan is to incorporate Sinhala where possible. Following each puja, the sponsor and those attending have reported gaining enormous benefits, and in turn, that has built confidence in the practice.
It is becoming more widely known that Medicine Buddha practice has its roots in ancient Sri Lankan culture and its mantras and influences run through the ayurvedic medical system.
