“When the world is pervaded entirely by problems and dangers due to uncontrolled minds and inappropriate actions, one of the most important practices is that of Medicine Buddha.”
– Venerable Geshe Kelsang Gyatso Rinpoche.At the Nordic National Festival 2026, we have the precious opportunity to receive the blessing empowerment of Medicine Buddha and learn how to heal our own and others mental continuum.
Who is Medicine Buddha?
Medicine Buddha is an enlightened being — the manifestation of the healing energy of all Buddhas. His powerful blessings can pacify inner and outer sickness and reveal the pure, limitless potential within our mind: our own Buddha nature.As we develop this pure essential nature, our ability to help ourself and others naturally increases and we become someone who can bring comfort, strength, and genuine benefit to those around us.
Everyone is warmly welcome to join the Nordic National Festival. No previous experience of meditation or Buddhism is required.
