A long time ago in a kingdom far away, King Tsongkhapa Rinpoche looked in fear and confusion at his kingdom…his lands laid waste by a terrible disease. A pandemic. Taking the lives of his people in homes and fields. Taking away those of all ages. When doctors and pundits failed to heal the sickness… in desperation he summoned the Lama Thang Thong Gyalpo. A wise man and realized being, Thang Thong Gyalpo knew the seed of the sickness was fear. He created 4 men like him, a sacred troupe of healers…and began a sacred Tantric Buddhist ritual, the breaking of the stone.

So goes the legend from Lhasa, Tibet, which tells us of the birth of the Buchen Lamas. Faith healers who heal the seed of all illness – fear.

At a time when their wisdom and healing is needed more than ever, only a single troupe of Buchen exist in India today, they are near extinct. India has many surviving ancient traditions, for every situation, time, and circumstance. There is endless wisdom in this land. To find wisdom, we must find the story.
