The Perfection of Wisdom

The Perfection of Wisdom Sutra presents a fundamental view of the Buddha Dharma and how we can follow the path to an awakened mind. For Mahayana practitioners, this sutra is the essence of the Buddha’s teachings. Dzongsar Khyentse Rinpoche gives a brief introduction to the sutra on Saga Dawa, a very special day when the Buddha fully awakened to the truth.

Om Mani Padme Hum

Lama Zopa Rinpoche -- OM MANI PADME HUM

Lyrics: Medicine Buddha Mantra
Melody: Dawn Chen Peiqi
Music Arrangement: Wang Yuxuan Paige
Vocals: Dawn Chen, Wang Yuxuan, Chermaine Wong

Sickness is an inevitable part of cyclic existence. No one is spared from it. It breaks my heart to see so many people and sentient beings around me suffer day in day out due to illnesses. 

That anguish I felt drove me to seek refuge and liberation for myself and those inflicted with illnesses. And in the process of supplicating to the Medicine Buddha, I wrote a melody to the Medicine Buddha mantra. 

TADYATA OM BHEKHANDZYE BHEKHANDZYE MAHA BHEKHANDZYE RAJA SAMUDGATE SVAHA
HOMAGE TO THE MEDICINE BUDDHA!

I pray that whoever hears this mantra, will be free forever from sickness and attain enlightenment!

Below is an excerpt of Lama Zopa Rinpoche’s advice for the sick or anyone who wishes to do the Medicine Buddha practice. His discourse moved me deeply and I hope that it can help you develop unshakeable faith in the Medicine Buddha too. May peace with you. 

Advice from Lama Zopa Rinpoche:

The Medicine Buddha stated that even an animal that hears his mantra, will never be reborn in the lower realms. 

So with full trust in the Medicine Buddha, recite the mantra, knowing that Medicine Buddha will completely take care of your life and heal you. With full trust, know how Medicine Buddha is always with you, in your heart, on your crown, in front of you. There is not one second that Medicine Buddha does not see you or have compassion towards you. 

As you listen to the mantra and chant along and pray in your heart: 
“The purpose of my life is to free all beings from suffering and lead them to enlightenment, therefore, I am going to do the Medicine Buddha practice, especially to purify the negative karma, defilements, disease and spirit harm, as well as to do healing, so that I can have a healthy and long life to offer service and actualize the path.”

Dedication the merits from chanting the mantra as follows:
“Due to all the merits of the past, present and future that I have collected and that others have collected, however many sick sentient beings there are may they be instantly liberated from their sicknesses and may sentient beings never get sick.”
