Before he became Medicine Buddha, Bhaiṣajyaguru was following the bodhisattva path and vowed that, if he became enlightened, he would do 12 things, including bringing those living in darkness into the light; helping those who are troubled to find the Mahayana path; healing those with physical afflictions; and helping those who are hungry, thirsty, poor and without clothes to be fed, clothed and cared for.

Join us on Facebook Live daily at 7pm Eastern Time for a short 15 minute Medicine Buddha practice to pray for all beings to be cared for.

Anyone can join and you don’t need prior experience. Just show up with the intention to benefit others and compassion in your heart. You will be guided along the way.

If you aren’t on Facebook, you can follow the practice below anytime you like.
