WEEKEND MEDICINE BUDDHA
TEACHING & EMPOWERMENT
with Khenpo Ugyen Tenzin
Khenpo Ugyen is the Abbot of our home monastery, Karma Triyana Dharmachakra, and will be accompanied by Khenpo Sangye as translator.
During this special weekend program, Khenpo Ugyen will offer Medicine Buddha teachings, Refuge, Reading Transmission, and Empowerment. We warmly welcome everyone to celebrate our Dharma center’s 40th Anniversary through this meaningful weekend of Dharma instruction and practice.
Practiced weekly at KTC Jacksonville, Medicine Buddha is a path of physical and spiritual healing that helps us accumulate the causes and conditions for healing. The Buddha of Healing has the power to recognize the true causes of suffering—spiritual, physical, and psychological—and help alleviate them. Receiving these teachings and empowerment can deepen your connection with Medicine Buddha practice.
ABOUT KHENPO UGYEN TENZIN
Khenpo Ugyen Tenzin received the Acharya degree jointly from Nalanda Institute and Sampurnanand Sanskrit University in 1991. He taught at Nimalung Monastery in Bhutan and later at Nalanda Institute in Rumtek, where he served as Senior Abbot and Principal Teacher.
In 2005, His Holiness the 17th Gyalwa Karmapa requested that Khenpo Ugyen come to Karma Triyana Dharmachakra (KTD). Since then, he has completed a traditional three-year retreat at Karme Ling Retreat Center and was appointed Abbot of KTD in September 2021.
