The Swiss Dharma Celebration is a gathering of the various Buddhist Centres and practitioners in Switzerland. It is a spiritual and joyful holiday over Easter. This is a unique opportunity to receive the empowerment of Medicine Buddha.

Medicine Buddha is the embodiment of the healing power of all enlightened beings. His function is to liberate living beings from outer and inner sickness. By relying upon Medicine Buddha, we can cure otherwise incurable physical disease and mental pain, as well as all other outer and inner diseases. An empowerment is a special guided meditation through which we receive powerful inspiration.

On this national celebration, Gen-la Kelsang Kunsang will grant the blessing empowerment of Medicine Buddha and transmission of the mantra, followed by teachings on how to integrate this practice into our daily lives.

What is an empowerment and what to expect?
An empowerment is a beautiful Buddhist ceremony involving a special guided meditation through which we establish a heart connection with a Buddha and are authorized to engage in the meditation practice associated with that Buddha.

The celebration begins with an introduction, followed by the empowerment and teachings on the healing actions about Medicine Buddha. Additionally, morning meditations are offered, along with evening chanted prayers (Pujas) and a short retreat to conclude the celebration.

Throughout the event, there are numerous opportunities for interaction with other participants, walks, and the chance to enjoy coffee and cake. Everything takes place in a happy and peaceful atmosphere.
