Explore In DepthDAVID JOHNSON |

I’ve been studying meditation for a little over a year now, and felt like it was a good time to explore the subject in more depth. I took Pandit’s two-day Medicine Buddha workshop, hoping not only to expand my repertoire of meditation dharma, but also to learn some more about Buddhism and where my practice could eventually lead.
The course itself was more than I expected, delving into the history and the context of the meditations themselves.
Pandit made a very important point that, in order to get the most out of our meditation practice, we should take the time to understand where they come from, and why we do them. Not just learn them by rote.
If you are interested in taking your own practice further, then this workshop should be one of the first stops you make on your own journey of understanding. Pandit has a light touch and good humour as he imparts some serious knowledge. Approach it with an open mind, and you’ll get a lot out of it.

A big thank you to Pandit and Jo for hosting the very informative two-day Medicine Buddha initiation and workshop. I gained a lot of insight from the workshop to further my practice. |

Medicine Buddha Saved Me!LARRY KEANE |

Aloha! |
Larry has had rheumatoid arthritis for decades. He moved to Maui Hawaii to live out the rest of his life after all his joints had been eaten away by his health condition. He said, "I want to die in a beautiful place." He was expected to die in a few months almost two decades ago. He had outlived the expectation of his doctors, the insurance company, his friends and family. He has dedicated himself to the practice of Medicine Buddha. May he live long and prosper. Larry can do it. You can do it, too.

The Lump On My Neck Was GoneLUBA CARGILL |
|
I experienced a very welcome and unexpected health improvement during a healing training session.
I learnt about the visit of a healer during a Tai Chi class. I went to see what this was all about with great scepticism and did not think that this type of thing was ever possible. The introduction and first healing session were so amazing I decided to continue.
During one of the sessions with Pandit, we were practising healing. I was sitting in a chair with another student in front of me and he was behind me demonstrating. He said to me don't move so I just sat there. After a discussion, I got up from the chair and felt very different. I could move my neck without obstruction. The lump on it was gone! It was missing!
I had lived with a lump on the left back side of my neck at the base of the skull for many years. It was the size of a large marble, sometimes caused a lot of pain and affected my neck movement but I was too scared to go see a doctor about it. I dealt with it as one would deal with a sprained ankle. Nothing serious, it would just be a constant weakness and irritation. I never told anyone about it, because I was afraid of what it might be.
I did not mention it to Pandit until later, so when it was gone, I couldn't believe it. I still can't believe it.
I am very thankful for this healing.

They Were No Longer ThereCharlotte Steen |

I learnt the Medicine Buddha teaching in 2003 and started practising it daily in 2004.
In 2009 I was in a car accident where I was rear-ended. I did not go to the emergency room (no insurance), but afterwards a medical intuitive said there was something wrong with my lower back. Via the good graces of a lawyer and then a chiropractor, I was able to get an MRI done, where indeed they found something.
An ultrasound was scheduled for 3 days later. I missed that appointment however because of bad traffic in Los Angeles and had to reschedule for the next available time - 3 weeks out. I spent the next three weeks practising Medicine Buddha every day and continued with my regular work schedule.
Three weeks later I had that ultrasound. It lasted forever... so much so that they took a break. During the second time around, I asked why it was taking so long. They said that they were trying to locate the two large spots that were on the MRI. They were unable to do so, as they were no longer there.

There is a Medicine Buddha in you. You are the healer extraordinaire. Awaken yourself. Every human being is the author of his own health or disease. Be your own Master Healer.
Perfected in ancient times to allow you to bring yourself and others back towards the blueprint of universal wholeness and understanding, and so heal your suffering. This healing meditation workshop provides you with time-tested tools to begin to strengthen your well-being from now into the future. |

Medicine Buddha is traditionally regarded as the Archetypal Healer. Having attained the wisdom of enlightenment he saw through the illusion of separateness and how it is a major cause of suffering in our world.
Like a fog, this illusion prevents you from seeing your true nature and the reality of the world you are living in. Through regular Medicine Buddha meditation practice, the fog begins to dissipate and with it the stress which creates and fuels so much mental, emotional and physical suffering. |
I have experienced deep relaxation when receiving healing before, but I would never have imagined I could reach such a state of inner peace by myself through meditation. Medicine Buddha has become my go-to practice for self-care when I need replenishing. |

19 Benefits of Meditation

In this era of global turbulence and personal stress the teachings of many Shamans, Saints, Buddhas - call them what you will - the Awakened Ones of all cultures and denominations are being brought out from the safekeeping of the few and into the path of the many.
Why? You ask. Because it is time. We need to heal. In following in their footsteps and attuning to their wisdom we are simply choosing to become Healer Extraordinaire. One such teaching is the practice of the Medicine Buddha. |

The Medicine Buddha having reached real wisdom, truly saw how separateness is really an illusion. This illusion is much like a painkiller that blocks the signals from one part of our body to another.
Many traditions have the teaching ‘Do unto others as you would have them do unto you’. Why? Because in reality what we do to others we ultimately do to ourselves, and also that what we do in ourselves we also do for others. We can choose to spiral down or up. When we choose up, our light is only increased by being shared. In healing yourself, your light grows and can shine for others. |
My health and wellbeing have improved but for me, the emotional and mental clarity that I have gained since I started Medicine Buddha has in many ways rescued me in very stressful situations. I am sure everyone's experiences in meditation are different but for me, Medicine Buddha practice was truly my first experience of being able to 'let go'. |
