Medicine Buddha - Mantra and Descriptions

Bekandze means eliminating pain, maha bekandze means fantastic eliminating of pain. One explanation of the significance of the first bekandze is that it refers to removing the discomfort of true suffering, not just of disease but of all problems.

The 2nd bekandze eliminates all the true cause of suffering, which is not external but within the mind. This describes karma and disturbing ideas. It is the inner cause that makes it possible for external factors such as food and direct exposure to sunlight become conditions for illness.

Without the cause in the mind, there is absolutely nothing to make external aspects end up being conditions for illness. For those who have created the cause to get skin cancer, the external phenomenon of sunlight can end up being a condition for skin cancer.

The essential question is: Why does not everybody who is exposed to the sun get skin cancer? The proof that sunlight is not the main cause of skin cancer is that not everyone who is exposed to the sun gets skin cancer.

If someone has actually developed the cause, as long as they do refrain from doing anything to cleanse it, the cause will certainly bring its own outcome, just as a seed that is planted will absolutely lead to a sprout as long as it is not eaten by birds etc. Once there is a cause, as long as there is no challenge to the cause, it is natural to experience its outcome.

medicine buddha mantra bekandze refers to removing the cause of issues, karma encouraged by disturbing thoughts.

The third expression, maha bekandze, or "excellent eliminating," describes eliminating even the subtle imprints left on the consciousness by disturbing ideas.

The Medicine Buddha mantra actually consists of the remedy of the whole finished path to enlightenment. The very first bekandze contains the finished path of the lower capable remaining in general; the 2nd bekandze, the graduated path of the middle capable being in general; and maha bekandze, the finished course of the higher capable being. The entire finished course from the starting up to the peerless joy of complete knowledge is consisted of in the Medicine Buddha mantra.

Reciting the mantra leaves imprints on our mind, so that we are also able to actualize the course consisted of in the mantra. It establishes the blessing of the entire course within our heart; we can then generate the whole graduated path to enlightenment, which is signified by bekandze bekandze maha bekandze.

The om is made up of 3 sounds, ah, o, and ma, which symbolize the Medicine Buddha's entirely pure holy body, holy speech, and holy mind. Actualizing the whole path to knowledge purifies our impure body, speech, and mind and transforms them into the Medicine Buddha's pure holy body, holy speech, and holy mind. We then end up being a perfect guide for living beings.


With our omniscient mind we have the ability to effortlessly, directly, and see without mistake the level of mind of every living being and all the methods that fit them in order to bring them from happiness to joy, to the peerless joy of full enlightenment.

We also have the ideal power to manifest in various forms to suit every living being and reveal the necessary techniques to guide them, such as providing material help, education, or Dharma teachings. Whenever the positive imprint left by their past positive actions ripens, without delay of even a 2nd, we can reveal various methods to assist the living being to enlightenment.
