At the repeated request of the Central Council of Tibetan Medicine, like one vase filling another to the brim, Guru Vajradhara H.H. the 12th Chamgon Kenting Tai Situpa bestowed the empowerments, reading transmissions, and instructions of "Dispelling the Darkness of Suffering" Guru Sadhana, which spontaneously emerged from the expanse of realization of the great siddha and physician Yuthok Yonten Gonpo, who was like Medicine Buddha in human form. This transmission took place at Palpung Sherabling Monastic Seat in front of an audience of the Central Council of Tibetan Medicine's directors and physicians, Palpung University of Buddhist Sciences' teachers, staff, and students, as well as several other devotees.

Over two days on April 8 and 9, 2022, Guru Vajradhara conferred the extensive root empowerment along with the command entrustment, as well as the concise essential empowerment, the auspicious longevity empowerment, the torma empowerment of Vajrakilaya, and the entrustment and authorization for the Medicine Buddha empowerment ritual.

Over the following two days, he gave practical instructions on the gradual path of creation and completion related to the stages of preliminary practices for the outer, inner, and secret sadhanas, elements of meditations and recitations for their actual practices, and the subsequent applications of activities, along with reading transmissions of the entire sadhana framework and all related liturgies.

Besides this, Guru Vajradhara kindly offered extensive guidance and advice on the significance of doing all we can to preserve and spread the transmission of the ten Buddhist sciences, which include the Tibetan language, and especially Tibetan medicine. He also pointed out that mere study and practical application of medical treatment are not sufficient, because they must be supported with empowerments, reading transmissions, instructions, and meditations on the teaching cycles related to the science of healing.
