The Medicine Buddha represents an extremely powerful form of enlightened energy. The practices of Medicine Buddha are efficacious in healing and helping one to accomplish one’s goals successfully and can be of benefit to someone who is ill or who has died.

It is very important that the elaborate Medicine Buddha puja be done regularly in order to benefit all. Medicine Buddha puja is also something that can be done for people who are dying, or who have already passed away, and also for individual success in all kinds of activities. This Medicine Buddha practice is extremely powerful and beneficial especially when it is done with extensive offerings beautifully arranged.

— Lama Zopa Rinpoche

The text for this puja is The Wish-Fulfilling Jewel composed by Panchen Losang Chokyi Gyaltsen, available from FPMT.

September 18 is a lunar eclipse day, and merit is multiplied by 700,000 times. Lama Zopa Rinpoche often spoke about solar and lunar eclipses, which are considered auspicious for practice and provide opportunities for accumulating merit by multiple folds. As stated in the vinaya text Treasure of Quotations and Logic, the karmic results of actions are multiplied by 700,000 times on lunar eclipses.

You are welcome to bring offerings such as flowers, food or small donations to create vast merit and benefit countless beings
