These teachings will be offered at Pu`u O Hoku Ranch by ChanYi DeChu, the Abbott of the Los Angeles Dari Rulai Temple. A free introductory session will be held on February 23rd from 6:00 to 7:30 PM, followed by a workshop from 6:00to 9:00 P.M. on February 24th. Medicine Buddha practices are thousands of years old. The sanskrit name of the Medicine Buddha is Bhaisajyaraja. The Chinese call him Yao Shi Fo, the Tibetans Sangye Menla, and the Japanese Yakushi. He was a great Master who made many vows to alleviate the suffering of all beings. In this workshop, students will learn techniques from the Hanmi Buddhist tradition for how to apply mantras, mudras and visualizations to heal themselves of many types of physical, emotional and spiritual problems. Each workshop includes an Abhiseka, or empowerment. This blessing connects recipients to the lineage, re-awakens the body's innate ability to heal itself, and one's natural ability to heal others. Following these simple steps can profoundly improve health and daily life. The techniques of Medicine Buddha Dharma enable practitioners to strengthen their immune systems, perform deep self healing and help others to heal, both physically and emotionally. There are also techniques for purifying air, food and water. ChanYi DeChu has been properly ordained by a respected Master with deep lineage. He is a diligent and dedicated practitioner, who has made the dharma his way of life. But even more powerfully – his teaching is rooted in experience. Through this practice, he has healed himself of a life-threatening condition, and has been able to help others as well. And now thanks to Pu`u O Hoku Ranch, he will offer these teachings on Molokai for those who have the fortunate destiny to receive them. </div> </article> <article> <h1>February Events: Hanmi Buddhism</h1> <p>HanmiHawaii — Fri, 13 Feb 2009 02:04:46 GMT</p> <a href="http://people.tribe.net/hanmihawaii/blog/a3c81e1a-c7de-4e3c-8069-3cc6f9929e68"> </a> <div>February Special Events – Deepen Your Practice at a Hawaiian Healing Heiau & Medicine Buddha Workshops / Refreshers Aloha Hawaii Hanmi Sangha Members & Friends: We are very fortunate this month to have some really special opportunities to deepen our practice. Not only is ChanYi DeChu, Abbott of our LA temple, on island all month offering MEDICINE BUDDHA workshops and free refresher sessions. (More information about these is below.) But we have also been granted permission to practice at a beautiful HAWAIIAN HEALING HEIAU, called KUKUIPUKA.A Heiau is a Hawaiian temple and so much more. It is a designated place for the practice of prayer. Kukuipuka is also designated especially for healing. So the opportunity to practice there brings a wonderful synergy and blessing to our practice. We have permission from the Kahu to do our practice there, and can even have someone at the gate to help direct people and to reserve the space for only those who wish to participate. Please show proper respect and honor the protocol for entering heiau. Protocol and directions below, along with more information on the Medicine Buddha Workhops. Hope to see you !! Healing Heiau Practice - Sunday Feb 15 10:30 AM; Directions and Protocol for entering below Medicine Buddha Workshops: Saturday and Sunday AFTERNOONS 1- 5 PM: February 14-15 and February 21-22 Also FREE Introduction Wednesday Feb 18th from 6 - 9 PM Sacred Garden of Maliko 460 Kaluanui Road Both Saturdays at Sacred Garden of Maliko; Sunday the 15th may either start late to accommodate the heiau trek - or may be held at the Heiau – depending upon participants abilities. For More Information Call : 281-7955, (626) 320-9228 or check http://people.tribe.net/HanmiHawaii (if link doesn't work, try all lower case) Protocol for entering heiau—Proper respect should be shown at all times. ● Remove shoes before entering heiau ● You may dress in your traditional regalia. In Hawaii women wear kihei (sarong) tied over left shoulder over clothes. Men wear kihei tied over right shoulder. This is not required but is common practice. ● Ho'okupu (offerings) are not required. Your silent prayers or chants are an offering in itself. If you would like to make a Ho'okupu to Kukuipuka, the simple rule is to bring items that are natural, such as flowers, water, plants, leis, ferns or other greenery. ● You may chant or do a silent prayer before entering. ● Do not sit on the rocks. They are sacred. So you may want to bring a towel or sarong to sit on.
