The Name-Recitation of Medicine Buddha

The Name-Recitation of Medicine Buddha

---

T’HUK-JE KÜN LA NYOM-PAY CHOM-DEN-DAY

Bhagavān who is equal towards all in his compassion,

TS’HEN TSAM T’HÖ-PAY NGEN-DRO’I DUK-NGEL SEL

Merely hearing your name dispels the suffering of the lower realms,

DUK SUM NAY SEL SANG-GYAY MEN GYI LA

You clear away the sicknesses of the three poisons, Buddha Medicine Guru:

BAIDURYA YI Ö LA CHHAK-TS’HEL LO

To Vaidūrya Light, I bow down.

CHOM-DEN-DAY DE-ZHIN-SHEK-PA DRA-CHOM-PA YANG-DAK-PAR DZOK-PAY SANG-GYAY MEN-GYI-LA BAIDŪRYA Ö KYI GYEL-PO LA CHHAK-TS’HEL LO/ CHHÖ DO/ KYAP SU CHHI’O

TO THE BHAGAVĀN, THE TATHĀGATA, THE ARHAT, THE PERFECTLY COMPLETE BUDDHA GURU OF MEDICINE, KING OF VAIDŪRYA LIGHT, I PROSTRATE, MAKE OFFERINGS, AND GO FOR REFUGE.

Recite this as much as possible.

GE-WA DI YII NYUR DU DAK

By this virtue, may I swiftly

MEN GYI GYEL-PO DRUP GYUR NAY

Accomplish the King of Medicine,

DRO-WA CHIK KYANG MA-LÜ-PA

And through that, may I establish all beings without a single exception

DE YI SA LA GÖ-PAR SHOK

On that same level.

With that, make prayers of dedication.

KHYEY LA TÖ CHING SÖL-WA-TAP-PAY T’HÜ

Through the power of praising and supplicating you,

DAK SOK GANG-DU NAY-PAY SA-CHHOK DER

For myself and all others, in whatever places we live,

NAY DANG ÜL-P’HONG T’HAP-TSÖ ZHI-WA DANG

May sickness, poverty, and quarreling be pacified,

CHHÖ DANG TRA-SHII P’HEL-WAR DZAY DU SÖL

And may Dharma and auspiciousness increase, I pray.

With that, make wishes and aspirations.

From the forthcoming book, The Compendium of Daily Name-Recitation and Dhārani Practices, by the 7th Panchen Lama.
