In Buddhism, where the power of mind is preeminent, it is no surprise that meditation is widely embraced as a healing method.The words medication and meditation differ only by one letter. They both come from the same Latin root word, medeor, which means to heal or to make whole.While modern medicine normally involves various modalities and medicines, in traditional Tibetan and Chinese medicine meditation plays a large role in healing.
NOTE: It is always recommended that you seek professional health care advice, and treat Medicine Buddha practices as supportive.

Why, though is Medicine Buddha meditation and his mantras so incredibly powerful? As a Sutra teaching, they arise from the words of the Buddha. In the Sutra, Bhaishajya Guru, Lapis Lazuli Light Medicine Buddha, made 12 vows. The most important was the vow on healing the sick."I vow that all beings who are physically sick in all aspects be blessed with good health, both physically and mentally. All who pay homage to Buddha faithfully will be blessed." Because of this vow, in Mahayana Buddhism, simply calling his name, praising him, or chanting his mantra are considered powerful healing practices. To chant his mantra in the original Sanskrit, see the linked video at the icon above, or in the description.
