The Medicine Buddha practice (or Sangye Menla in Tibetan) the manifestation of the healing energy of all Buddhas. He wears monastic robes amd sits on a lion throne. The color of his body is dark blue. By reciting his holy mantra It is not only a very powerful method fand increasing healing powers for oneself and others, but also for overcoming the inner sickness of attachment, hatred, ignorance and the purification of negative physical and mental karma. 

Thus to meditate on the Medicine Buddha can help decrease physical and mental illness and suffering. The Buddhist tradition outlines that Buddha Shakyamuni (the historical Buddha), at Bodhisattva Manjushri’s request, taught in Varanasi the origin of the Medicine Buddha sutra of 800 verses. 

The great Indian Buddhist master Abbot Shantarakshita (8th century) brought this tradition to Tibet. It was then given to the Tibetan King Trisong Deutsan to promote health, prevent diseases, give protection against black magic and to stabilize the ecological system from natural disasters. 

Through the practice of the Medicine Buddha we not only achieve benefit for ourselves, but we are actually cultivating the potential to benefit others, and by doing these practices we actually bless the environment and all the beings in that envir
