Medicine buddha mantra

It is no coincidence that the words "medication" and "meditation" are only one letter various. They both originate from the very same Latin root word, medeor, indicating "to recover or to make whole."

In the West, our medical focus is on the external-- on the treating of physical symptoms-- while Eastern traditions focus more on the internal, that is, addressing the psychological reasons for illness. It is our good luck to be living at a time when we can access the best of both worlds.

Medication Buddha meditation is a healing practice cherished by many in the Mahayana Buddhist custom. In that sutra, we are told the story of a bodhisattva, Medication Buddha, who made twelve pledges about how he would help living beings after attaining enlightenment.

When we practice Medicine Buddha meditation, we do not do so to replace mainstream medical treatment, but to complement it. The practice purifies and gets rid of the underlying, karmic reasons for disease and cultivates the causes for holistic well-being. Such may be the power of our practice that we experience substantial enhancements in the symptoms, too. We need to be clear about what we are doing.

Medicine Buddha is as much about mind as it is body. We stop producing cortisol and adrenalin, and instead improve the production of immune-boosting endorphins and seratonin, equipping our body against intrusive bacteria, infections, and other imbalances.

A component of confidence in the practice is practical. The placebo result is said to represent more than a 3rd of all healing. Medication Buddha meditation has actually been practiced for countless years. If we have confidence that it can work for us, then we're off to a very good start.


Resonance might also account for the powerful effect of Medicine Buddha practice. On one level, we may be sitting alone in a space practicing meditation, however in a different way we are resonating with the many hundreds of countless people who have done exactly the same thing before us. We're benefiting from their experience and adding to the experience of those who follow.

When doing this practice, it's crucial to retain an awareness that you are not a naturally existent person asking an inherently current buddha to eliminate a naturally current illness. This would be little different from a theistic or shamanistic method. blue medicine buddha mantra is precisely because absolutely nothing has any real, separate, or independent presence-- consisting of disease-- that practices like this have power.

We invoke Medicine Buddha through making use of particular images and noise, reaching out to the consciousness of those endless beings who have actually already achieved enlightenment and who have actually chosen to manifest Medicine Buddha's qualities.

The minds of buddhas are understood to be all-seeing and all-knowing. Buddhas react to their mantra in the same way we react when we hear our name discussed, so we pretty much have a buddha on speed dial when we use their mantra. To obtain a metaphor from the late Tibetan instructor Gelek Rinpoche, when we recite a buddha's mantra we are supplying a hoop through which they can hook us into their energetic impact.

Keep In Mind that Medicine Buddha is a Kriya tantra practice. It is helpful that you first have some familiarity with the sutra custom, as well as get appropriate initiations and mentors from a correctly qualified teacher, if you wish to totally embody the precious Medicine Buddha lineage.

How to Practice Medicine Buddha Meditation
STARTING
Find a quiet place to practice meditation and presume the ideal meditation posture for you. Take haven in the Buddha, dharma, and sangha, and then invest a short time developing your motivation in a heartfelt method. You may believe or state: "By this practice of Medicine Buddha, might I (or the being for whom I am practicing) be purified of all disease, discomfort, and suffering, and delight in robust good health, and attain complete and best knowledge to lead all other beings to this exact same state."

WELCOME MEDICINE BUDDHA TO YOUR PRESENCE
Imagine Medicine Buddha sitting, looking at you. With his left hand he holds a bowl of healing nectars, and with his right a medication plant.

I suggest having an image of Medicine Buddha in a location where you'll see it frequently throughout the day. That will make it easier for you to "see" Medicine Buddha when your eyes are shut.

What's actually essential is to have a really real sense that Medicine Buddha is actually there. That if you looked up, or opened your eyes, you would see him. Try and cultivate the sensation that you remain in the presence of a truly fantastic being. If you've ever had the advantage of remaining in an audience with somebody such as the Dalai Lama, you will know that there is a palpable feeling to his being there. Attempt to envision this exact same energetic presence with Medicine Buddha.

MAKE YOUR DEMAND
Ask Medication Buddha to eliminate discomfort, cleanse illness, and/or rebalance or restore your health (or that of the being for whom you are practicing). You do not need accurate knowledge of the anatomical modifications required. What matters here is intention.

Picture that Medicine Buddha willingly reacts to your request. Quickly, healing blue lights and nectars originate from the bowl in his lap, concerned the crown of your head, and flow down, filling your body, or that of the being for whom you are practicing. You can direct the lights and nectars to specific parts of the body, but there is such an abundance of them, that they will fill your whole being anyhow.

Envision that this process quickly, completely, and completely eliminates and purifies all disease, pain, and suffering and-- significantly-- the causes of illness, discomfort, and suffering. In addition, the causes of holistic well-being of body and mind stream in with unlimited abundance.
