| Medicinal Buddha
The medicine Buddha, the Teacher
of Medicine and the king of Lapis Lazuli Light (Bhaishajyaguru,
Sangye Menla, Vaidurya).
His radiant body is azure blue.
His left hand is in the meditation mudra and holds a begging
bowl full of long life nectar in his lap. As a sign that
he gives protection from illness, his right hand is outstretched
in the gesture of giving and holds the "great medicine",
the myrobalan plant (a-ru-ra).
Following verses is reprint
from Chagmed Rinpoche's Hymn in Praise of the Medicinal
Buddha
Namo Maha Beshajeya
Honor to the Great Medicinal
Buddha!
Whoever due to wrong ideas and attitudes
Is bound to fall into states of suffering
If he even hears the sound of your sacred name,
He will not be reborn in sorrow
And will reach the state of immaculate Purity.
