Medicine Buddha is a Buddha Doctor whose function is to release living beings from outer and inner sickness by bestowing blessings upon them. Buddha’s Truth Body, or Dharmakaya, appears in the form of Medicine Buddha, with a blue coloured body, one face and two hands, holding a jewelled bowl and a medicinal plant.
By relying upon Medicine Buddha sincerely, living beings in these impure times can be cured of heavy physical and mental disease, and find release from the internal pain of the three poisons: attachment, anger and ignorance. They can also receive protection from many other dangers and obstacles. Since beginingless time, we have experienced the pain of the three poisons and all the sufferings to which they give rise. Now, by relying upon this Buddha Doctor, we can be released from this pain forever. Moreover, by practising the sadhana of Medicine Buddha sincerely, we receive a special power of body, speech and mind, which we can then use to help others through healing actions.
