Medicine Buddha

Chanted Prayers to the Healing Buddha

Medicine Buddha is a Buddha Doctor whose function is to release living beings from outer and inner sickness by bestowing blessings upon them. Buddha's Truth Body, or Dharmakaya, appears in the form of Medicine Buddha, with a blue-coloured body, one face and two hands, holding a jewelled bowl and a medicinal plant.

By relying upon Medicine Buddha sincerely, living beings in these impure times can be cured of heavy physical and mental disease, and find release from the internal pain of the three poisons: attachment, anger, and ignorance. They can also receive protection from many other dangers and obstacles. By practicing the Medicine Buddha Sadhana sincerely, we receive a special power of body, speech, and mind, which we can then use to help others through healing actions.

Everyone is welcome to participate in these beautiful prayers.
