Medicine
Buddha
Ancient teachings tell us that merely seeing the Medicine
Buddha, or even seeing an image of the Medicine Buddha, or hearing
the name of the Medicine Buddha, can confer inconceivable benefits.
In Tibetan images of the Medicine Buddha the left hand typically
holds a blooming myrobalan plant. Tibetan medicine recognizes three
basic types of illness, the root causes of which are the conflicting
emotions -- passion, aggression, and ignorance. Myrobalan is the
only herb in the Tibetan pharmacopoeia that can aid in healing each
of these three types of diseases. This is like the action of the
Buddha of Healing, who has the power to see the true cause of any
affliction, whether spiritual, physical or psychological, and who
does whatever is necessary to alleviate it. |
