2025 Winter Zoom Session
SD Yogi’s Zoom Talks will resume on Monday, January 6th, 2025 and Wednesday January 8th, 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.
Dates: Mondays January 6 - March 10th, 2025
Wednesdays January 8th - March 12th, 2025

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.
These talks are recommended for those studying and practicing Thai Traditional medicine, with a foundation in Buddhadhamma.
Wednesdays: Dhamma
January 8th - March 12th, 2025
8 pm-9:30 pm Thailand time
Twelve Points of Reusi Petdam
The Twelve Points of Reusi Petdam are a summary of key points of teachings that are upheld through transmission from teacher to student directly, primarily through oral teachings. Dedication to preserving teachings and honoring lineage in a traditional manner was of utmost importance to Reusi Petdam. These teachings are specific to the path of a reusi, but are beneficial for anyone taking up a serious practice like medicine, astrology, sak yan or Buddhist practices. For the Wednesday talks we will also go through the chanting practice related with these points and Reusi Petdam's tradition.
Open to beginners and experienced practitioners alike who would like to study
more about these pillars of buddhadhamma view and practice.
