Medicine Buddha Mantra

Introducing the Medicine Buddha
You do not need to be Buddhists to practice this Sacred Healing Mantra. However, I suggest that you learn as much as possible about the Medicine Buddha’s Teachings. Learning about the Medicine Buddha is highly desirable for even more excellent results


In the mantra the name of the Medicine Buddha occurs in several times. After maha it can be repeated either once or twice e.g. eitherMaha Bhaishajye or Maha Bhaishajye Bhaishajye. It may be pronounced either as the original Sanskrit (bye-sa-jee-yeah) or as it came to be pronounced in Tibet, something like bay-cod-zay (at least in some dialects).
