Meditation as Medicine for Body and Mind
3-Week Online Workshop August 29-September 20, 2026
with Tenzin Wangyal Rinpoche
“Without the light and warmth of the sun, trees and flowering plants will fail to flourish.
Without awareness and warmth toward your body, you, too, will fail to flourish.”.
—Tenzin Wangyal Rinpoche
We tend to view emotional and physical pain as the enemy. The Healing From the Source online workshop with Geshe Tenzin Wangyal Rinpoche reveals why we shouldn’t—and shows us how meditation practice can transform our own pain and sickness through the healing warmth of loving-kindness.
This three-week online workshop, with personal support and guidance from Geshe Tenzin Wangyal Rinpoche, focuses on cultivating loving-kindness as a means for preventing and healing both physical and emotional pain. Based on ancient teachings of dzogchen from the Tibetan Bön Buddhist tradition, the workshop helps one discover the “great healer within.” The core teachings of dzogchen introduce us to the nature of mind, to our own inner refuge, the true source of healing. Everyone has access to this source through the “three doors” of body, speech, and mind, Rinpoche has explained. He describes stillness of the body, silence of speech, and spaciousness of the mind as the “three precious pills”—a powerful medicine you can take at any time, with no side effects, to help divert you from your self-punishing tendencies, clear pain and negativity, cultivate awareness, and ultimately access the healing qualities that spontaneously arise in that space.
The three precious pills serve as the foundation of the main practice. Their healing effects come from resting deeply in the space that opens, then gradually bringing awareness to your emotional or physical discomfort. In that unconditional openness, the pain or discomfort naturally dissolves. In time you may become aware of positive qualities naturally arising within, such as loving-kindness, joy, equanimity or compassion. As you allow those qualities to mature, you can feel their warmth.
