Ayurvedic Correspondence Course, Ayurvedic Distance Learning and In-Person Classroom-based Ayurvedic Education: Om Namo Medicine Master Buddha! Sangye Menla! - the Patron Buddha of our Indian Medicine - Tibetan Herbal Medicine Herbal Correspondence Course and Ayur-Veda School. In the Tibetan Medicine Tantras (Four Tantras or rGyud bzhi), Shakyamuni Buddha describes Medicine Master Buddha as an Supremely Enlightened Being who has special powers of healing. The special healing blessings of Medicine Buddha may be obtained by reciting his name or mantra. In Tibetan chant "Om Namo Baghawate Bhaghandze Guru Bhadurya Prabah Raja Tathagataya Arhate Samkya Sam Buddhaya Tayatha Om Bheghandze Bheghandze Maha Bheghandze Raja Samudgate Soha". In Sanskrit chanting "Aum Namo Bhagavaté Bhaisajya Guru Vaidurya Prabaha Rajaya Tathagataya Arhaté Samyaksambodhi Tadyata Aum Bhaisajé Bhaisajé Bhaisajya Samudgaté Svaha". For centuries, Buddhists have been reciting this mantra prayer, to bring an ultimate healing of spiritual disease, as well as cures for everyday problems of the body and mind.
