| Introduction
The following
is a simple healing meditation practice which generates a self-healing
energy. If you want to make it even simpler and quicker, just
do the motivation, visualization and healing portions. While dedicated
to the benefit of all beings, this practice should also generate
powerful self-healing forces.
Preparation
& Motivation
You should
begin by generating in your mind a positive intention to benefit
all beings and relieve their suffering by meditating on the healing
Buddha.
Visualization
Visualize
a large, blue image of the "Healing Master of Lapis Lazuli"
in space in front and above you. His left hand, palm upward in
his lap, holds a bowl full of miraculous healing nectar. His right
hand rests palm outward on his knee in a blessing gesture, and
holds a magic plant which cures all diseases. His color is a deep
translucent blue, and his robes are in hues of yellow, orange
and red.
Healing
Keep visualizing
the healing Buddha, with healing rays emanating from his body
in all directions.
Prayer
Of Request (see Credits)
"I beseech
you, Blessed Medicine Guru, Whose sky-colored, holy body of lapis
lazuli Signifies omniscient wisdom and compassion As vast as limitless
space, Please grant me your blessings."
"I beseech
you, compassionate Medicine Guru, Holding in your right hand the
King of medicines Symbolizing your vow to help all the pitiful
sentient beings Plagued by the four hundred and twenty-four diseases,
Please grant me your blessings."
"I beseech
you, compassionate Medicine Guru, Holding in your left hand a
bowl of nectar Symbolizing your vow to give the glorious undying
nectar of the Dharma Which eliminates the degenerations of sickness,
old age and death, Please grant me your blessings."
Mantra
of the Medicine Buddha
" Tayata
Om Bekanje Bekanje Maha Bekanje Randze Samu Gate Ye Swaha "
Dissolution
Dissolve the
visualization, prayer and mantra into clear space. Recognize that
your mind is identical with that clear space.
Dedication
"Whatever
merits were produced by this practice, I dedicate them all to
the health and happiness of all beings."
