December 25:
H.H. Gyalwa Karmapa granted the empowerment of
Medicine Buddha at Tai-Chung Hero House to more than 800 people, including
Sangha members and followers from all over Taiwan as well as Hong Kong and
Singapore. During the session His Holiness pointed that we all face many kinds
of illness and different levels of illness in physical forms. But the real
illness we face is the result of our negative emotions, such as attachment,
ignorance and hatred. In order to find an antidote or a perfect cure, we
practice the meditation of the Medicine Buddha. His Holiness further encouraged
the participants by concluding that even if we try to practice the meditation of
Medicine Buddha for a short while every day, there is numerous benefits.
Therefore we shall make the best use of time, opportunity and capacity to study,
reflect and meditate the practice of Medicine Buddha to reach our goal of self
and other benefits.
