According to the Four Tantras, the fundamental cause of every disease is to be found in the three delusions of ignorance, attachment, and aversion. Buddhas such as Shakyamuni and the seven Medicine Buddhas are referred to as great physicians because they have the compassion, wisdom, and skillful means to diagnose and treat the root delusions underlying all mental and physical malaise. The seven Medicine Buddhas work to pacify the obstacles to the achievement of temporary happiness, liberation, and the ultimate happiness of full enlightenment.
The Medicine Buddha practice can be used to help those who have already died and liberate them from suffering. It is also very powerful in bringing about success in daily life and spiritual practice.
Lama Zopa says, “It is very important that the elaborate Medicine Buddha puja with extensive offerings be done regularly. The offerings should be as extensive and as beautiful as possible, and done in order to benefit all sentient beings.”
The Medicine Buddha puja is in English and takes around 60 minutes.
Held in the Gompa at Chenrezig Institute.
