Yuthok's Heart Teachings: Training in Medicine Buddha's Anuttarayogatantra with Dr. Nida Chenagtsang
This is a video recording of a live 100-day online training that took place in 2020. It is a complete system of practice from the Anuttarayogatantra (Highest Yoga Tantra) class of teachings, beginning with the preliminaries (Ngöndro) and through Creation and Completion Stage practices (Kyerim and Dzogrim) up to the highest practices of Tibetan Buddhist meditation (Mahamudra and Dzogchen). It is probably the most complete, intensive and in-depth study of Medicine Buddha online. It includes extensive teachings and guided meditations. You can find the course by clicking here.
The Heart of Healing: The Medicine Buddha
This is a three-hour audio course that can be purchased on iTunes. James Sacamano, MD begins the course with guided mindfulness and body scan meditations. He then gives an introduction to Stream of Lapis Lazuli Medicine Buddha sadhana and meditation. This is followed by an introduction and guided practice of each part of the meditation. Since there is no text with iTunes it would be helpful to have the book Medicine Buddha Teachings by Khenchen Thrangu Rinpoche published by Snow Lion because this book has the text to which Dr. Sacamano refers. You can find this course by visiting itunes and searching James Sacamano.
Medicine Buddha Healing Retreat
In this eight hour online retreat you learn how to practice the Medicine Buddha, as a profound method for clearing away hindrances and establishing conducive conditions for the practice of Dharma. Khentrul Rinpoche has arranged a short practice based on the visionary experience of Dölpopa. The conciseness of the practice allows you to easily integrate it into your own daily life. It is a uniquely arranged short practice so that whatever level you are at in the Tibetan systems (Sutra, Kriya or lower tantra up to Annutara Tantra Yoga or highest Yoga Tantra), this practice can be used.
