Why this retreat

Having personally experienced illness, H.H. the 9th Neyphug Trulku Rinpoche has developed a profound understanding of the suffering and challenges faced by those afflicted by sickness. His experience has deepened his compassion for all who endure physical and mental suffering. As Rinpoche has observed, while many people may have access to food, shelter, and material comforts, the suffering caused by illness is not always something that wealth or worldly resources can overcome.

With this heartfelt aspiration, Rinpoche established this retreat to invoke the blessings and healing activities of Guru Bhe-kha Dze-ya (Medicine Buddha). Through the power of collective prayers, spiritual practice, and the compassionate vows of Medicine Buddha, Rinpoche aspires for all who participate to receive blessings and favourable conditions for healing and wellbeing.

The merits generated through this retreat are dedicated not only to the healing of physical and mental afflictions, but also to the peace, prosperity, and harmony of every nation, and ultimately to the establishment of lasting peace throughout the world.

Medicine Buddha Recitation Retreat

Participants will join collective recitations of the Medicine Buddha mantra, contributing to the aspiration of accumulating 100 million Medicine Buddha mantra recitations.

Led by H.H. the 9th Neyphug Trulku Rinpoche and the Neyphug Sangha, these full-day sessions provide an opportunity to engage in sincere prayers, accumulate merits, and dedicate positive aspirations towards the healing of physical and mental afflictions, the wellbeing of all beings, and world peace.

The Bali programme follows a slightly different format, with one day dedicated to each of the two practices.

Participants may submit the names of departed family members, relatives, friends, and all those who have passed away to be included in the prayers and merit dedication. Through these virtuous practices, we aspire to create favourable conditions for the deceased to attain a fortunate rebirth and ultimately progress towards liberation from suffering.

All offerings are voluntary, and participants may contribute according to their own wishes and means.

I have never practised before. Can I join?

Absolutely! Everyone is welcome, regardless of their background or previous experience with Buddhist practices. You do not need prior knowledge or experience to participate. The retreat is an opportunity for everyone to learn, practise, accumulate merits, and receive blessings together.

Can I attend only one day?

Yes. Participants are welcome to attend for just one day or for the full duration of the retreat. You may join on whichever day is most convenient for you. We encourage you to participate for as long as your schedule allows.

What should I wear and bring?

We recommend wearing comfortable and modest clothing suitable for a Buddhist prayer and meditation environment. Please remember to bring:

  • Your QR code from registration (a screenshot is fine), to show at the entrance each day.
  • Your own mala (prayer beads) to count your mantra recitations throughout the day.
  • Your own headset or earphones for listening to the translation.
  • A fully charged mobile phone and power bank to ensure you can access the translation throughout the programme.

Can I dedicate the practice to someone who is ill?

Yes. Dedication is an important part of Buddhist practice and is strongly encouraged. Participants may dedicate the merits accumulated during the retreat to family members, friends, or anyone in need of prayers and blessings.

You may also submit the names of loved ones who are experiencing critical illnesses. Their names will be presented to His Holiness for prayers and blessings during the retreat. Through the collective practice and dedication of merits, we aspire for their healing, strength, and favourable conditions for recovery. You can add the names when you register.
