Lapis Lazuli Light

2 August 2022
Online
Dzongsar Khyentse Rinpoche

When we talk about healing, we think about healing the body, but for buddhists mind is primary and body is secondary, so dealing with disorders of the mind is paramount. Buddhism has very progressive views on how to restore an ailing mind.

Dzongsar Khyentse Rinpoche responds to five questions posed by Bhutanese health professionals on the topic of Buddhism and healing.

The lapis lazuli stone is blue, like the Medicine Buddha and the sky: the largest natural blue thing in our world. We see the sky above us; it is both there and not there. This space is one of the greatest metaphors in Buddhism to express emptiness or shunyata, and understanding emptiness heals everything.
