Event
Medicine Buddha Healing Rite Puja
ABOUT: Unity of Fairfax is pleased to present a 6-day event with Tibetan Buddhist Monks from Drepung Loseling Monastery, located near India. As part of their world tour with The Mystical Arts of Tibet, the monks will be visiting the D.C. area from August 4 through August 9. While at Unity of Fairfax, they will construct a mandala sand painting and present traditional rituals and performances. Unity of Fairfax invites you to attend the Medicine Buddha Healing Rite Puja on Wednesday, August 5 from 7:30 p.m. to 8:30 p.m.
WHAT: This tantric system is a ceremonial empowerment for healing by means of absorbing the energies of the eight healing buddhas, i.e., the eight aspects of enlightened living. In the Tibetan world, all practitioners associated with the healing profession seek out this empowerment and then practice the associated mantra on a daily basis in order to enhance personal healing power.
The healing music associated with the mandala of the Medicine Buddha is perhaps the most popular with all Central Asians as a means of establishing individual wellness. Most monasteries perform this rite at least once a month in order to ensure the health and happiness of the surrounding community. In addition, an individual suffering from illness will often request monks or nuns to come to his or her house to perform the rite as a means of personal healing.
The healing powers of the rite are channeled from the divine sphere of the Medicine Buddha Mandala into the mundane world of the individual by means of music, meditation, mantra, and mudra, or "symbolic finger gestures."
WHEN: Wednesday, August 5 from 7:30 p.m. to 8:30 p.m.
WHERE: Unity of Fairfax, 2854 Hunter Mill Road, Oakton, Virginia, 22124
TICKETS: $20.00 per person
