Short Mantra
TAYATA OM BAY KUNZE BAY KUNZE MAHA BAY KUNZE RADZA SUMU GATE SOHA
[ tayata om bhaykandze bhaykandze maha bhaykandze radza samudgate soha ]
In Tibetan images of the Medicine Buddha, the left hand typically holds a blooming myrobalan plant.
Tibetan medicine recognizes three basic types of illness, the root causes of which are
the conflicting emotions -- passion, aggression, and ignorance.
Myrobalan is the only herb in the Tibetan pharmacopoeia
that can aid in healing each of these three types of diseases.
Tibetan Buddhists consider the Medicine Buddha Empowerment
to be the most powerful blessing for healing, dispelling sickness and
for awakening the innate healing wisdom that lies within every individual.
The practice of the Medicine Buddha meditation (sadhana),
and all the other ways of connecting to the blessings of the Medicine are said to be
much more effective when one has received the Medicine Buddha Empowerment
from a qualified lama (Tibetan Buddhist meditation master).
