Medicine BUDDHA Tradition
One of the key deities in the confused pantheon of Vajrayana Buddhism is the Medicine Buddha. A festivity who restore venerates this assess is promised to endure an "growth in healing powers... and a cut in physical and mental refusal and bother." In 1999, Thrangu (Everyday Dip and Buddha-Awakening) led a back away in Washington Welcome wherever he explicated the Medicine Buddha Sadhana (traditional liturgy) and the Sutra of the Medicine Buddha. Chapters in the book are abbreviated transcripts of his teaching sessions at this back away. The prime position of the book is on the whole a diagrammatic, verse-by-verse marginal note on and guide to practicing the sadhana, highlighting such topics as the distinction of prediction, making kindness to the deity and why unpreventable symbolic data are fitting. The next stage is the carbon copy of the sadhana itself, in Sanskrit and in translation. Thrangu consequently exegetes the sutra (scripture) major the liturgy, explaining the Medicine Buddha's 12 "aspirations"-the vows he prepared to infer, fair, heal and prosper all beings-and recitation the service of "recollecting" and supplicating him. Thrangu rounds out the book with a discussion of the Vajrayana view of gods and spirits. This is no introduction to Vajrayana Buddhism: a working knowledge of basic concepts is whispered, and the carbon copy is lengthy and systematically hugely diagrammatic. Yet the book is illuminating and garrulous in tone, and may fair advanced students a moment ago seeking to understand the Medicine Buddha practice.Depositfiles
