Medicine Buddha made a vow during another aeon that all beings who suffer from sickness if they call up on him, he will heal them. Illness are both mental and physical which the root cause will be arising from ignorance, hatred and desire. From the three root causes arises the 84,000 mental afflictions which manifests as various diseases of body and mind. The practice of Medicine Buddha is said to purify, counter and heal these afflictions.
Medicine Buddha images and practice is also powerful for purifying the area to avoid natural disasters. The practice of Medicine Buddha is said to be the most powerful healer of all our inner and outer diseases eventually bringing us to full enlightenment.
Recitation of Medicine Buddha mantra onto both people and animals is said to purify immediate karmas and help them take a good rebirth. It is good practice to recite the mantra of Medicine Buddha to an animal and blow on them to help them take positive rebirths where they can practice dharma in a future life. It is also beneficial to blow the mantra onto animal bones or flesh that are long dead to help them take good rebirth. Medicine Buddha practice has so many benefits and therefore very prevalent within all schools of Tibetan and Chinese Buddhism.
Dorje Shugden is said to have the strength of a thousand Dharma Protectors. Therefore, he has the amazing ability to protect the lineage of Lama Tsongkhapa, have the healing abilities of Medicine Buddha, fulfil wishes in the manner of Green Tara and protect one from spirits and other negative afflictions like White Umbrella.
