“How long will it take until I am enlightened?”
Bring your awareness to your heart, breathe slowly and deeply, then ask yourself this question. You can repeat it as many times as you like. Listen carefully for the answer. For some of us, the answer is “I never will” or “It will take many lifetimes.”
The Increased Wave of Light
The truth is, we need to heal as we awaken. It has always taken training, discipline and self-awareness to break through the dense earth energies on the physical plane and clear ourselves enough to rise above the general level of human consciousness.
Today, a wave of light is flowing through the universe. It is helping more people to reach a higher level of consciousness. As the wave of light moves around the earth, a larger channel to the higher realms is opening. It is helping to expand human awareness. It creates opportunities for us to speed up our journey, heal and reach enlightenment.
Healing is Growth
Your soul wants to grow, explore, learn and discover new aspects of itself. It naturally seeks to reach new levels of understanding and to feel more alive. Feeling the life of your soul can feel quite different from your personality feeling alive. When your soul shines, you begin to question everything.
Our growth never truly ends. Even as we reach higher levels, there are still further levels to attain. To be able to grow, we must heal. We have to peel away the layers of dense energy that have accumulated.
The human personality self needs to be strong and balanced so that the soul can shine through brightly. This is where it begins. The soul pushes past the personality. When this started to happen to me, I didn’t know what had hit me. I learned that I had to be patient.
Pause and take a breath
Am I ready to heal?
Have I already started my healing journey?
How far have I moved along my healing path?
What has happened to me so far in my healing?
Am I questioning life in general?
Am I questioning my purpose?
Finding Your Sponsor
As I reflect on my healing journey, I have gone through stages and levels of release that manifested in many different ways. Childhood programming and conditioning, difficult and upsetting experiences throughout my life, and mental and emotional turmoil.
The deeper stuff is usually old and karmic, with my present life experiences mirroring my past or showing me what needs to be released and transformed.
Pause and take a breath
Do I recognise when something is rising to be healed?
Do I embrace the healing experiences?
Do I desire to grow?
Is my growth all-pervasive?
Do I feel my soul pushing me towards enlightenment?
Do I bring a spiritual orientation to everything I do?
Do I examine my beliefs?
Are my beliefs flexible?
Is my mind open?
Do I trust that the universe is supporting me?
Whatever spiritual path you are drawn to it is not enough to think you can do it all by yourself. You need guidance, encouragement and support to help you move forward safely.
The deeper your healing becomes, the higher your consciousness reaches and you need higher help. You need divine help. You need divine sponsorship.
Medicine Buddha
One of the divine sponsors of spiritual awakening, healing, growth and enlightenment is Medicine Buddha.
Medicine Buddha is a Buddha Doctor whose function is to release beings from outer and inner sickness by bestowing blessings. He is regarded as the patron deity of healing and medicine.
The Medicine Buddha is said to have been born from a lotus flower, and he represents the healing power of the Buddha.
The Medicine Buddha is Buddha’s Truth Body or Dharmakaya. He is a powerful figure in Tibetan Buddhism. He is typically depicted with a body the colour of lapis lazuli, a deep blue, which symbolises his power to dispel disease. He sits on a lotus flower, which represents his purity and wisdom.
The Medicine Buddha sutra, the Bhaiṣajya-guru-vaiḍūrya-prabhā-rāja Sutra, contains 84,000 verses on the subject of medicine and health.
Sometimes known as Bhaiṣajya-guru, his name means “Lord of Lapis Lazuli.” He is shown with one face and two hands. He holds a medicine bowl or lapis lazuli gem in his left and a medicinal, herbal plant in his right.
Medicine Buddha represents the healing aspects of all the Buddhas. He is also known as Bhaiṣajya-guru in Sanskrit, Yào Shì Fó in Chinese and Lapis Lazuli Light Buddha in English.
How Can Medicine Buddha Help Me?
The Healing Buddha represents the healing power of medicine and compassion. He is sometimes known as the Medicine Master or Doctor Healing King. Faithful practitioners believe he has the power to cure all diseases and to bring peace and prosperity.
Medicine Buddha Mantra
Many Buddhists chant the mantra of Medicine Buddha daily. It is a go-to mantra for seeking relief from sickness, illness, worry or misfortune.
This mantra is in Tibetan and is usually transmitted by teachers. However, with faith, a pure heart and a little practice at reciting his mantra; you can invoke The Medicine Buddha and his blessings.
Medicine Buddha’s name is Bekhandze and is pronounced phonetically as Beh-kahnd-zey:
The Mantra
“Tayatha Om Bekhandze Bekhandze Maha Bekhandze Bekhandze Randza Samundgate Soha”
Or
“Tayatha om bhaiṣajye bhaiṣajye mahābhaiṣajya-samudgate svāhā”
A general translation:
Tayatha – this way/like this.
Om – in this moment, one’s own body, speech and mind are transformed into the vajra holy body, speech and mind.
Bekhandze Bekhandze -“eliminating pain, eliminating pain”. What eliminates our pain and suffering pain is medicine. Medicine Buddha first eliminates true suffering and secondly the true cause of suffering, our perceived suffering and our karma.
Maha – great/superior.
Maha bekhandze -“the great eliminating pain.”
Randza – great king.
Samundgate – the radiance of the ocean of goodness.
Soha – so be it, the established root of pain. To establish the foundation of healing and wholeness in the heart, the blessing, the devotion from which realisation comes.”
When we recite bekhandze bekhandze maha bekhandze we invoke the energy of the whole path to enlightenment, the ultimate medicine or healing light.
“Tayatha Om Bhekhandze Bekhandze Maha Bekhandze Bekhandze Randza Samungate Soha”
When we chant the mantra, we are more or less saying:
O Blessed One, Tathagata, Foe Destroyer, Completely Perfect Buddha, Medicine Guru, Great King with the Radiance of a Lapis Jewel, to you I prostrate, make offerings, and go for refuge.
You can use this mantra for protection from all types of illness: physical, emotional, psychic, and mental, and for deep healing purposes.
You can ask for the Medicine Buddha’s help in times of need.
Medicine Buddha Visualisation
All divine deities have a nature, and the Medicine Buddha’s nature is blue healing light. During meditation, he is visualised with a body of shining, shimmering blue light.
Medicine Buddha is often referred to as Bhaiṣajya-guru. Due to his blue nature, he is depicted wearing the ‘Three Robes of a Buddhist Monk’ and has a blue aura.
In Tibetan Buddhism, Bhaiṣajya-guru is nearly always invoked during meditation for healing. When you visualise him and recite his mantra, you may be blessed with good health, longevity and prosperity.
Create a Peaceful Space to Practice
It is a good idea for any sacred practice to create a peaceful, quiet space in your home. It may be a dedicated shrine or a general quiet or spiritual space where you can heal and grow. It can include a small table with a statue or image. It may be flowers, a candle or incense. It may simply be something beautiful that you love.
When you have created a peaceful space, you can begin the practice.
Pause and take a breath
Do I prefer a mantra, a visualisation, or both?
We recite the Medicine Buddha Mantra and visualise the rays of healing Lapis Lazuli light that emanate from the Buddha.
The mantra, love, and blue light help trigger our inner wisdom and knowing and assist in healing and transformation on the level we need it to work on at the time.
Stage 1 – Mantra
Sit comfortably and focus on your breath.
Let go of all other thoughts.
“Tayatha Om Bhekhandze Bekhandze Maha Bekhandze Bekhandze Randza Samungate Soha”
Repeat the mantra until you feel comfortable.
The mantra is effortless.
I feel it resonate deep within.
I allow its energy and power to assist my transformation.
Stage 2 – Visualisation
Sit comfortably and focus on your breath.
I let go of all other thoughts.
I visualise the Medicine Buddha sitting in front of me.
I imagine that his Medicine Bowl is filling up with light.
This light enters my body, filling me with healing energy.
I focus on my breath.
The light from the Medicine Bowl helps me feel calm and relaxed.
I see Medicine Buddha as ‘The Nature of Light and Energy.”
When you are ready, open your eyes and go about your day.
Stage 2
Sit comfortably and focus on your breath.
I visualise the Medicine Buddha sitting in front of me.
I visualise the healing light at the heart of Medicine Buddha.
I see the blue lapis lazuli healing light emanate from the Buddha.
I ask Medicine Buddha for divine help.
The light of the Buddha enters my own body.
The blue light absorbs into my body.
I am relaxed and allow this to happen.
I give myself time and space to experience it.
The Light purifies me of all negatives and heals me of all illnesses.
I allow the blue light of Buddha’s love to heal me.
The blue light cleanses and heals my emotions.
The blue light cleanses and heals my mind.
I ask Medicine Buddha to protect me on my journey.
If you have a specific issue or illness you need help with, hold it up to the light of the Medicine Buddha.
Use your imagination if you need to. Healing takes place when we have faith.
By taking a few minutes each day to practice Medicine Buddha Meditation, you can bring more peace to your awakening and healing journey and into your life.
Medicine Buddha Profound Power
When we put our faith in Medicine Buddha, the presence can relieve us of the heavy burden of physical and mental disease and illness. We may find peace from the internal pain of the five poisons of attachment, anger and ignorance, pride, and jealousy.
The light of Medicine Buddha can protect us from the obstacles we encounter along our journey.
Medicine Buddha is a sutra teaching, so it is very accessible to all of us. To progress to a more advanced level, we need study, dedication, and practice. Whatever level we are at or attain, we always respect and honour the Buddha.
Speeding Up
Tune into your breath and to your soul as often as possible and follow the inner guidance.
“How long will it take until I am enlightened?”
“How much do I desire to grow, how strong is my inner yearning for truth?”
The blue light of healing love that emanates from Medicine Buddha is part of the bright wave of light that is flowing through the Universe.
When we are ready for the healing process to begin, we need the help of our assisting healers and helpers.
When we are open, the light flows into our hearts and souls. When we tune into this, we become part of the great wave of light and higher consciousness that unfolds the next
We have the opportunity to speed up our growth by tuning into this pure light and love energy so that we can heal our past mistakes and pain.
Enlightenment may not be as far away as we think.
“Merely through the touch of the smallest part of your supreme medicinal plant, you cool the fires of the deepest hell, transforming them into lotus pools; to you, Protectors of impure beings, with my body, speech, and mind, respectfully I prostrate.
I offer a vast collection of offerings, both actually set out and emanated through the power of mantra, concentration and imagination. I confess all negativities and downfalls, rejoice in all virtue, beseech you to remain, and request you to teach. I dedicate these virtues to great enlightenment.”
