Museum visit at Tibetan Medical & Astrology Institute in Dharamshala - April 6th, 2019

I visited the museum at the Tibetan Medical & Astrology Institute today where I saw a collection of herbal medicines on display, ancient tools for herb dispensing and written knowledge of medicine from many years ago. There were also several pictures of the Medicine Buddah which was very symbolic to me. In my third ayahuasca ceremony many years ago, after a long and challenging evening, I saw a sculpture of a blue face on a table close to me. For the next hour, this face would interact with me as I would go through a series of what felt like an assessment of my physical well-being. On the next morning, I asked where this sculpture was only to find out that there was no such sculpture that I had saw. For several years after, I would always look for this blue face whenever I saw something similar such as in many pictures and sculptures of Indian deities. However, it was never the one until one day, I went to a class on Tibetan medicine at my school and saw on the first slide of the presentation, the Medicine Buddah. I don't have an explanation nor do I interpret what it all means, but when I began my path with ayahuasca, never would I have thought that several years later, I would be studying herbal medicine and living in India.
