Interesting - today, for father's day, I gave a Buddha to Gerhard ... it's not the Medicine Buddha - but it immediately reminded me of it :-)

Mantra of the Medicine Buddha

---

The ancient teachings that tell us even seeing an image of the Medicine Buddha can confer inconceivable benefits also reveal that just hearing the name of the Medicine Buddha brings the same benefits.
In the mantra the name of the Medicine Buddha occurs in several times. After maha it can be repeated either once or twice e.g. eitherMaha Bhaishajye or Maha Bhaishajye Bhaishajye. It may be pronounced either as the original Sanskrit (bye-sa-jee-yeah) or as it came to be pronounced in Tibet, something like bay-cod-zay (at least in some dialects).

The Medicine Buddha mantra is a very popular mantra from Vajrayana Buddhism. The aspect of the medicine Buddha is a benevolent manifestation of the Universal Buddha Nature and is supposed to be healing, physically, mentally and emotionally. Here the mantra is chanted in Sanskrit and is:
