About this event

According to Buddha, the underlying cause of all mental and physical diseases and suffering is negative states of mind (ie, delusions), such as anger, desirous attachment and confusion. By connecting to Medicine Buddha's powerful transformative blessings and by practicing traditional, powerful meditations, we can gradually heal ourself of delusions and sickness, and profoundly benefit others. Everyone is welcome.
