Om

Svabhava Shuddho Sarva Dharma Svabharva Shuddho Ham

All phenomenon are fundamentally pure of their own nature

 

Seated in the vajra position,

visualise in front of oneself,

The Victorious Medicine Buddha.

 

His body is dark blue in colour, with one face and two hands.

The right hand, in the gesture of granting supreme excellence, holds an Arura medicinal plant, and the left, in the position of meditation, holds a begging-bowl filled with ambrosia. Blazing with the splendour of the major and minor marks, he is wearing the three Dharma robes, and seated with both feet in the diamond posture.

To the right is the red Bodhisattva

All-Pervading Solar Radiance

radiant as the sun, holding in his left hand a lotus supporting a sun.

To the left is the white Bodhisattva

All-Pervading Lunar Radiance

radiant as the moon, and holding in his left hand a lotus supporting a moon.

They both make the gesture of generosity with their right hands, are fully adorned with silks and jewels, and stand on lotuses and moon discs in the posture of bowing to the main deity.

The main deity and the retinue are all marked with a

White Om

at their foreheads,

Red Ah

at their throats,

& Blue Hum

at their hearts.

Light shines from the (Hum in one's own heart), and all the Buddhas of the ten directions are invoked in the sky in front of oneself in the form of the

Victorious Medicine Buddha

 

OM VAJRA SAMAH JAH

JAH HUM BAM HO

 He is absorbed non-dually into oneself. Light shines from the Mantra rosary around the Hum on a moon disc in one's heart, makes offerings to the Noble Ones, and cleanses the dual obscurations of all sentient beings. The compassionate blessings of all the Buddhas and Bodhisattvas return and bless my being.

OM to the King of Healing along with his retinues (and offer) drinking water, feet-washing water, flowers, incense, lamps, perfume, food and music

 

AH HUM

I pay homage to the Medicine Buddha of Lapis Lazuli Light,

The Victorious One who is equally compassionate to all,

The mere hearing of whose name removes all the sufferings of the evil realms,

And who clears away the diseases of the three poisons.

May the victorious Tathagata, three Arhats, the fully perfected Medicine Buddha,

Grant the supreme and ordinary attainments to me and all limitless sentient beings.

 

OM VAJRA MUH

The Wisdom aspect dissolves into emptiness. Visualise that the retinue and seats dissolve into light, and are absorbed into oneself, and that one's three places are marked with the three syllables

 Om

Ah

Hum

Dedication of Merits

Through this virtue, may I quickly attain the stage of the Medicine Buddha

and establish each and every sentient being on his stage of enlightenment!

By recalling the name and murmuring the powerful Healing Mantra of the Healing Buddha, King of all Physicians,

May those beings who encounter physical and mental sicknesses

Gain strength to tolerate the pain and soothe the sufferings of others!

By shunning the act of harming others

As a blessing of the Healing Buddha

And unconditionally nursing the sick, aged and poor

May all beings emulate the compassionate acts of the Bodhisattvas!
