Description

The Detailed Account of the Previous Aspirations of the Blessed Bhaiṣajyaguruvaiḍūryaprabha centers on the figure commonly known as the Medicine Buddha. The text opens in Vaiśālī, where the Buddha Śākyamuni is seated with a large retinue of human and divine beings. The bodhisattva Mañjuśrī asks Śākyamuni to teach the names and previous aspirations of the buddhas, along with the benefit that buddhas can bring during future times when the Dharma has nearly disappeared. The Buddha gives a teaching on the name and previous aspirations of the Buddha Bhaiṣajyaguruvaiḍūryaprabha, and then details the benefits that arise from hearing and retaining this buddha's name.

Classical WorksAbout this item
A liturgical compendium for the worship of the Seven Medicine Buddhas (Bhaiṣajyaguru and his six buddha companions), composed by the Fifth Dalai Lama, Ngawang Losang Gyatso, and completed in 1643. Associated with the Bhagavato bhaiṣajyaguruvaiḍūryaprabhasya pūrvapraṇidhānaviśeṣavistārasūtra, the text consolidates earlier, more fragmentary offering and recitation rites (mchod pa) into a single unified ritual manual. Per its colophon, it was compiled at the request of several religious figures, including Rikzin Lama Rinchen Gyatso and the regent (phyag mdzod) Sönam Rabten, and was later printed at Ganden Phuntsok Ling for wider dissemination of the teaching.
