Medicine Buddha-Bhaishajyaguru mantra (Sanskrit): Buddhist Chant of India

[anathemios]

no! raja in sanskrit simply means king

@anathemios

Yes, that's correct, Raja means King but in this construction of this mantra it stands for King of Healers. Mantras were created with brevity for easy recall and grammatical rules were not always followed. Hope this helps.

after years and years of deep mental suffering I am now recovering thanks to Bhaisajyaguru. This mantra, as well as the dharani should be spread wide to all sick, both physically & emotionally... Homage to all buddhas!

@rosscreuswell The answer to this is too long to put here..I have sent it to you by email...

[rumisays]

@Crescendo999 would also like to know the answer to this question about the melody

[jon6o29]

Urge everyone to chant this for internal peace and healing. If physically sick, pls see a doctor. I chant this thousand of times, in the end.....Amitoufo. I shall put a full stop here.

May I request for a translation please? Thank you

[Crescendo999]

@kancerzx Sure!

Tadyatha: This is how it is

Om: an auspicious prefix added, it is the most sacred word, the sound of existence

Bhaishajaye: the name of the deity of Medicine Buddha in Sanskrit and means Physician Healer

Mahabhaishajaye: Great Physician Healer

Raja: King of Healers

Samudgate: to go to the Supreme Heights

Svaha: to make an offering

The mantra is an evocation of the name of Medicine Buddha and is an auspicious offering to yourself and to your surroundings to bring purification.

Dear friend. This is really peaceful and beautiful. I am quite interested in Buddhism and I found your chanting is slightly different from tibetan style. your "Bhai-sha-jye" in Tibetan style sounds like "Ben kan ze". Because I don't know sanskrit, please tell me what is the difference. Is that just different way to pronounce Sanskrit? Thank you so much _/\_

@DreamBrutal

This version is chanted in Sanskrit. Medicine buddha in sanskrit is bhaishajye..however in Tibetan the words are changed slightly and it is bekanze. The mantras were created in Sanskrit in India, however when they were taken to Tibet they were modified to suit their linguistic styles, to Tibetan. Thus the difference in pronunciation. Hope this helps :)

@Crescendo999 Understood. Thank you so much:)
