i have never really known about the medicine buddha until recently. and over the lunar new year, i visited the temple to light a candle for my mum and my family. have not done it before but i very much want to do it this year. i think it is the right thing to do for my mum... and all in my family.
the sanskrit version of the medicine buddha mantra reads as "tayata, om, bhaishaye bhaishaye maha-bhaishaye raja samudgate, svaha" in the tibetan way, it is pronounced "tayata, om, bekandzeh, bekandzeh maha-bekandzeh, radza samungateh. soha". the meaning of this mantra is often given as 'may all beings benefit from the sublime love and power of sangye menla' although it is not a literal translation of the mantra.
