Medicine Buddha Sadhana<\/b><\/p>\n

The Buddha of Healing vowed to help the sick and dying. This prayer averts and clears obstacles related to sickness and diseases and can lead to recovery from ill health, surgeries, etc. The dying and the deceased are protected from rebirth in lower states. Moreover beings in lower states are more swiftly liberated and can attain a fortunate rebirth. Just reciting the Medicine Buddha\u2019s name has the power to ripen limitless <\/i>benefits in one\u2019s mind. In our present world situation, it is important to do this practice.<\/p>\n
