True Balance

Old friends pass away, new friends appear. It is just like the days. An old day passes, a new day arrives. The important thing is to make it meaningful: a meaningful friend or a meaningful day. - His Holiness the Dalai Lama

Lama Lobsang Palden

I just returned from my first Tibetan healing massage session with Lama Lobsang Palden Rinpoche.  I was graced by good fortune to reserve the last remaining appointment while the lama is in Leelanau County for his annual Medicine Buddha Healing Retreat.

My session felt like a rare gift of peace and healing. I am in awe of the lama’s kindness, powerful energy, compassion, and strength. I highly recommend experiencing authentic holistic bodywork in a Tibetan Healing Massage Ceremony with Lama Lobsang Palden.

Lama Lobsang brings his unique experience as a Tibetan lama to his bodywork, incorporating years of Dharma practice in his sessions. He works on a deep, spiritual level, utilizing ancient healing sounds such as Tibetan singing bowls, cymbals, and sacred mantra. His naturally intuitive style includes energy work for emotional and spiritual healing.

I am grateful for another meaningful day…

More about Lama Lobsang Palden

Lama Lobsang Palden was trained as a lama in the Gelugpa tradition of Tibetan Buddhism. Born in Tibet, he entered a monastery as a boy after his recognition as a Nyingma tulku, or reincarnated lama of the Nyingma school. At age 18 he escaped Tibet, which was under military occupation by the People’s Republic of China. He made an arduous three-month journey across the Himalayas, fulfilling his dream of meeting His Holiness the Dalai Lama.

He lived in monasteries in India for over a decade, studying Buddhist Dharma and Tibetan Medicine. He studied Tibetan Yantra Yoga in Tibet. He has traveled extensively, teaching and practicing the precious Dharma. To learn more about Lama’s journey, click here to read “Midnight Fire Puja in the Snow.”
