Medicine Buddha - Mantra and Descriptions

Bekandze implies eliminating discomfort, maha bekandze means fantastic eliminating of discomfort. One description of the meaning of the first bekandze is that it refers to eliminating the discomfort of real suffering, not simply of disease however of all problems. It eliminates the discomfort of death and renewal that are triggered by karma and troubling thoughts. The first bekandze gets rid of all the problems of body and mind, consisting of old age and sickness.


The 2nd bekandze eliminates all the true reason for suffering, which is not external but within the mind. This describes karma and disturbing ideas. It is the inner cause that enables external elements such as food and exposure to sunshine end up being conditions for disease.

Scientists claim that sunbaking causes skin cancer. Without the cause in the mind, there is absolutely nothing to make external aspects become conditions for disease. Direct exposure to sunlight is a condition for skin cancer, however it is not the main cause. For those who have created the cause to get skin cancer, the external phenomenon of sunshine can end up being a condition for skin cancer.

medicine buddha long mantra is: Why does not everyone who is exposed to the sun get skin cancer? The proof that sunshine is not the main cause of skin cancer is that not everyone who is exposed to the sun gets skin cancer.

If someone has developed the cause, as long as they do refrain from doing anything to cleanse it, the cause will certainly bring its own result, just as a seed that is planted will definitely result in a grow as long as it is not eaten by birds etc. When there is a cause, as long as there is no obstacle to the cause, it is natural to experience its outcome.

So, the 2nd bekandze describes getting rid of the reason for issues, karma motivated by troubling ideas.

The third expression, maha bekandze, or "excellent getting rid of," refers to removing even the subtle imprints left on the consciousness by troubling ideas.

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

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

The om is made up of three noises, ah, o, and ma, which represent the Medicine Buddha's completely pure holy body, holy speech, and holy mind. Actualizing the entire course to enlightenment cleanses our impure body, speech, and mind and changes them into the Medicine Buddha's pure holy body, holy speech, and holy mind. We then become a perfect guide for living beings.

With our omniscient mind we are able to effortlessly, straight, and see without mistake the level of mind of every living being and all the approaches that fit them in order to bring them from happiness to joy, to the peerless joy of complete enlightenment.

We also have the ideal power to manifest in various kinds to suit every living being and reveal the essential approaches to assist them, such as offering product assistance, education, or Dharma mentors. Whenever the positive imprint left by their past positive actions ripens, without delay of even a 2nd, we can expose various methods to guide the living being to enlightenment.
