SD Yogi’s Zoom Talks will resume on Monday, January 6th, 2025. The theme of this session’s talks for both medicine and dhamma are the teachings and wisdom of the reusis.

Reusi (ฤๅษิ) is a Thai word that originates from the Sanskrit word ṛṣi ( ऋषि ). Within the Palī tradition the term used is isi. Ṛṣi means a seer or sage. When we look at Buddhist texts, we find that Gotama Buddha was a reusi in many of his past lives. In fact, he was practicing as a reusi during the lifetime of Dīpankara Buddha, one of the Buddhas of the past who lived many eons ago. It was during this life, as Sumedha isi, that Gotama Buddha made the aspiration to become a fully enlightened Buddha. 

Mondays Traditional Medicine talks will be focused on a selection of medicinal substances from the Mahapigat. The primary focus will be on nine substances which are the common ingredients in combinations such as Triphala, Trikatuka, Benjagoon and so on. These preparations are directly applicable to the four causative factors such as, element, season, age and time.

Medicine Talks are weekly on Mondays from 8 pm-9:30 pm Thailand time
