Hello Everyone. Here is the mantra of the Medicine Buddha and some information explaining it.
TAYATA OM BEKANDZE BEKANDZE MAHA BEKANDZE RANDZA SAMUGATE SOHA
The name of the Medicine Buddha is believed to have the power to free one from the pattern of negative thoughts and emotions.
Healing can occur just by speaking, hearing or concentrating on his name. The signifi cance of the Medicine Buddha as the Supreme Healer in Tibetan medicine for liberating the individual from suffering is an exemplary metaphor for the mystical elements which are universally inherent in the healing tradition.
The tradition is truly a holistic approach to the problem of suffering, both individual suffering and suffering as a universal condition benefi ting us all.
TAYATA “like this” OM This is composed of three sounds Ah, Uu and Ma, which refer to our own body, speech and mind. This is transformed into Medicine Buddha’s pure body, speech and mind. BEKENDZE Bekendze means eliminating pain or healing. The fi rst bekendze removes problems of body and mind, including sickness and old age. BEKANDZE The second bekendze removes the causes of suffering (greed, hatred and delusion). Effects of karma and disturbing thoughts are eliminated. MAHA BEKANDZE the great eliminating, the great healing. The clearing of even subtle defi lements. RANDZA King as in Menla is the King of Healers. SAMUDGATE Path to enlightenment. SOHA This is said to establish the meaning of the mantra in the heart.
