The Medicine Buddha long Dharani from the Medicine Buddha Sutra is famous for its healing benefits as a meditation and mantra chant. The longer 54-syllable Dharani of the Lapis Lazuli Healing Buddha, chanted at least seven times has been recommended by Buddhist teachers for healing. The Dharani is chanted here in original Sanskrit (not translated to Tibetan or English) — in the sacred vowels of the Mother Language. The Dharani (transliterated and in Devangari) is Namo bhagavate bhaiṣajyaguru vaiḍūryaprabharājāya tathāgatāya arhate samyaksambuddhāya tadyathā oṃ bhaiṣajye bhaiṣajye mahābhaiṣajya samudgate svāhā नमो भगवते भैषज्यगुरु वैडूर्यप्रभराजाय तथागताय अर्हते सम्यक्सम्बुद्धाय तद्यथा ओं भैषज्ये भैषज्ये महाभैषज्यसमुद्गते स्वाहा Available on your favorite music streaming service: Spotify, Apple Music, iTunes, Instagram/Facebook, TikTok/TikTok Music/Resso/Luna, YouTube Music, Amazon, Pandora, Deezer, Tidal, iHeartRadio, Claro Música, Saavn, Boomplay, Anghami, KKBox, NetEase, Tencent, Qobuz, Joox, Kuack Media, Yandex Music (beta), Adaptr, Flo, MediaNet Apple Music: In future we will release a mantra only chant, with the concise Sutra mantra: oṃ bhaiṣajye bhaiṣajye mahābhaiṣajya-samudgate svāhā ओं भैषज्ये भैषज्ये महाभैषज्यसमुद्गते स्वाहा | See the information icon in the top right of this video for a link to a full feature on the Medicine Buddha Lapis Lazuli Light. NOTE: Although many teachers and people recommend Medicine Buddha practices and mantra for healing, please always seek the advice of your medical professionals and support teams WHY IS MEDICINE BUDDHA SO POPULAR? In his Sutra — the Sutra in which we find this Healing Dharani — he, himself, promises to help us through his 12 Vows: 1. I vow that my body shall shine as beams of brilliant light on this infinite and boundless world, showering on all beings, getting rid of their ignorance and worries with my teachings. May all beings be like me, with a perfect status and character, upright mind and soul, and finally attaining enlightenment like the Buddha. 2. I vow that my body be like crystal, pure and flawless, radiating rays of splendid light to every corner, brightening up and enlightening all beings with wisdom. With the blessings of compassion, may all beings strengthen their spiritual power and physical energy, so that they could fulfil their dreams in the right track. 3. I vow that I shall grant by means of boundless wisdom, all beings with the inexhaustible things that they require, and relieving them from all pains and guilt resulting from materialistic desires. Although clothing, food, accommodation and transport are essentials, it should be utilised wisely as well. Besides self-consumption, the remaining should be generously shared with the community so that all could live harmoniously together. 4. I vow to lead those who have gone astray back to the path of righteousness. Let them be corrected and returned to the Buddha way for enlightenment. 5. I vow that I shall enable all sentient beings to observe precepts for spiritual purity and moral conduct. Should there be any relapse or violation, they shall be guided for repentance. Provided they truly regret their wrong-doings, and vow for a change with constant prayers and strong faith in the Buddha, they could receive the rays of forgiveness, recover their lost moral and purity. 6. I vow that all beings who are physically disabled or sick in all aspects be blessed with good health, both physically and mentally. All who pays homage to Buddha faithfully will be blessed. 7. I vow to relieve all pain and poverty of the very sick and poor. The sick be cured, the helpless be helped, the poor be assisted. 8. I vow to help beings who are undergoing sufferings and tortures. By hearing my name, paying homage and praying, their wishes would be granted and ultimately attain Buddhahood. 9. I vow to free all beings from evil thoughts and its control. I shall lead them onto the path of light through inculcating them with righteousness and honour so that they will walk the Buddha way. 10. I vow to save prisoners who have genuinely repented and victims of natural disasters. Those who are sincere will be blessed by my supreme powers and be freed from sufferings. 11. I vow to save those who suffer from starvation and those who committed crime to obtain food. If they hear my name and faithfully cherish it, I shall lead them to the advantages of Dharma and favour them with best food and eventually lead a tranquil and happy life. 12. I vow to save those who suffer from poverty, tormented by mosquitoes and wasps day and night. If they come across my name, cherish it with sincerity and practise dharma to strengthen their merits, they will be able to achieve their wishes.
