The Buddha – our enlightened essence – is known
as the great healer, the energy which releases all beings from affection.
According to the Tibetan tradition, the Buddha emanated as Bhaishajyaguru, the
"master of remedies," thousands of years ago. He established the Tibetan
medical tradition in the form of texts known as The Four Tantras of Secret
Instructions on the Eight Branches of the Essence of Immortality, which are
more commonly referred to as Gyushi, "The Four Medical Tantras." The
master of remedies holds in his right hand a spring of aurora, or cherubic
Myrobalan, from which much of Tibetan medicine is compounded. His hand faces
outward, symbolizing his bestowal of boons. In his left hand he holds a bowl
containing three forms of ambrosia: the nectar that cures disease and
resurrects the dead; the nectar that counteracts aging; and the supreme nectar
that illuminates the mind increases knowledge. The Tibetan psysian yeshi Donden
explained: Bhaishajyaguru is blue in colour like the sky; his body is clear
when looking from the outside and clear when looking outward from inside...
Look carefully at how he is sitting, the shape of his eyes, the gesture that
his hands are displaying... and think about his qualities and altruistic
activities...Imagine that light rays spread out from the heart...radiating in
the ten directions, entering into the four elements, and turning them into
highly potential medicines. These light rays return and dissolve into the
medicines in Bhaishajyaguru's begging bowl. This is how the power of mantra and
meditative stabilization affects the potencies of medicines.' The Medicine
Buddha's throne is supported by snow lions and flanked by dragons. In the sky
above him are five Buddhas and other celestial beings. Below are fearful
protectors of the path to wholeness. In the healing practices of Tibetan
medicine, the unconscious energies that often sabotage our lives are restored
to conscious awareness. When we recognize our inseparability from all life,
healing often occurs spontaneously – the expression of natural abundance.
