About this Retreat

This weekend Lama Öser will help new participants gain a familiarity with the practice of Medicine Buddha and for those of you familiar with this sadhana, Lama answer your questions and enhance understanding and practice.

During a walk on the land at Gomde UK, Chökyi Nyima Rinpoche said, ‘Gomde UK is a place of healing’. When visiting Gomde UK in 2019, Rinpoche kindly bestowed the empowerment of the Medicine Buddha practice, which facilitates healing of body and mind, helping to restore balance and eliminate hindrances for ourselves and others.

About Lama Öser

Lama Öser is one of our very senior monks at Ka-Nying Shedrub Ling. He has studied under many great masters and for a number of years was the personal assistant of the great Dzogchen master Tulku Urgyen Rinpoche. We are therefore very fortunate that Lama Öser resides here for several months of the year, leading retreats and giving teachings. Lama Öser also supports us with all aspects of our practice and is available, when in residence, to support those who undertake retreat at Gomde UK.
