The Menla Dochog ritual will be held at the Central Khurul

Tomorrow, October 20 (the 15th lunar day), at 9:00 the “Otch Manla Choha” (“Menla Dochog”) ritual of the Medicine Buddha (Skt. “Bhaishajyaguru”) will be held at the Central Khurul of Kalmykia — the head of the eight Medicine Buddhas. Sometimes the Medicine Buddha is called Vaiduryaprabharaja (literally: “Lord of Lapis Lazuli Radiance”). In various cultures, lapis lazuli has been regarded as a healing stone for many thousands of years. In its symbolic meaning it is purity itself, that is, it cleanses from any painful manifestations not only on the physical but also on the spiritual level. The practice of the Medicine Buddha possesses incredible power. Even simply repeating the name of this Buddha can protect against many illnesses. And if you recite the Bhaishajyaguru mantra daily, you can not only protect yourself in advance from many diseases, but also purify non-virtuous karma and subdue harmful spirits that cause suffering. The ritual will be broadcast on our official YouTube channel “The Golden Abode of Buddha Shakyamuni.” Names for the rituals can be sent to the email address moleben@khurul.ru
