Suggested Ways of Offering
the Medicine Buddha Mantra
There are many ways to offer the grace of Medicine Buddha. You may choose one or more of the suggestions below or create your own offering.
1. Sit in meditation and gently concentrate on your intention as you chant the Medicine Buddha Mantra in multiples of seven. Seven is the Medicine Buddha’s number.
2. Dedicate your first mantra to the UNIVERSE or all sentient beings, before focusing on a particular group or person.
3. Create a Medicine Buddha Altar.
Print or write the names of those you are requesting the blessings for. Lay the names on your alter in front of the Medicine Buddha image and light a votive candle. Chant the Mantra onto the altar and into the flame. Let the candle continue to burn until it goes out by itself.
Keep the written names and at the end of the lunar month or longer gather them and burn them or bury them in a garden. You might also save them and bring them to India (or to your local group) for burning in a Medicine Buddha Sacred Fire Ceremony.
4. You might want to form a group of people to chant the Medicine Buddha mantra for healing blessings.
Even a small group of two or three would be wonderful.
Remember that healing happens in many ways. Some are very obvious and some are not at all obvious.
Therefore in chanting this mantra “svaha” is a very important utterance and relinquishes the outcome to the Divine.
