Edward Coughlin takes us on a tour of the Medicine Buddha's Tanaduk with a comprehensive overview of the relevant herbs of Traditional Tibetan Medicine.

The Tibetan Buddhist esoteric practice of a dark retreat, in which experienced practitioners with guidance from a teacher remove all light stimuli for 49 days, has long been shrouded in secrecy. The practice is a simulation of the bardo, the transitional consciousness state at the time of dying. Esteemed Tibetan medical practitioner and teacher Dr. Nida Chenagtsang has become an advocate for selectively bringing this practice to the fore as part of his healing practice.

Dr. Nida talks about the deeper purpose of meditation and how it brings harmony to all aspects of our life beginning with ourselves.

Dr. Nida discusses the traditional Tibetan medical system of Sowa Rigpa and reveals its core doctrines such as health as balance, pulse and urine analysis, and how to discover your body’s typology.

Dr. Nida and Dr. Bob Thurman journeys though the Medicine Buddha's garden, exploring the tools, techniques and transformative technologies of Sowa Rigpa.

Dönla Tsering offers Medicine Buddha practice in honor of Dr. Nida's birthday to raise funds for a Medicine Buddha statue to be the centerpiece of the Tanaduk Garden at Dr. Nida’s new retreat land Yuthok Ling in Arce, Italy.

Dr. Nida speaks about using food as medicine, and Tantra to transform afflictive emotions from the perspective of Sowa Rigpa.
