About Event:

Two days of instruction and practice with senior monk Ven Tony Beaumont

The Medicine or Healing Buddha embodies the healing aspect of the mind and the practice is powerful for healing ourselves and others. It is particularly powerful during difficult times, especially for healing the heart and mind to help overcome negative patterns of thinking and develop the qualities of compassion and kindness.

The first Saturday (20 November) will focus on changing our understanding of the hurt we have experienced at the hands of others and bringing about a wiser approach  to these with the aim of  healing ourselves and others.

The second Saturday (27 November) will deal more with the harmful actions we have done to others and ourselves, and with cultivating a kinder approach in the process of purifying these.

Both days will include teaching, question/answer, and engaging in the meditation practice of Medicine Buddha.

Participants may attend either one or both days. All are welcome, the day is suitable for newer students and more experienced ones alike.
