Medicine Buddha Long Mantra

The Long Mantra of Medicine Buddha is one of the most revered healing practices in the Mahāyāna and Vajrayāna traditions. It invokes Bhaiṣajyaguru—the Master of Healing—whose body radiates the deep blue light of lapis lazuli. This mantra is not only for physical healing but also for emotional purification, mental clarity, and the restoration of spiritual balance.

The long form of the mantra contains layers of blessing that address karmic obscurations, the causes of illness, and the inner turbulence that prevents well-being. By reciting it, practitioners connect with the healing power of wisdom and compassion, allowing the mind to return to its natural state of clarity and equilibrium. It is said that even hearing the long mantra plants seeds of healing that mature across lifetimes.

Daily recitation strengthens emotional resilience, pacifies inner anxiety, and supports both mental and physical well-being. It builds a compassionate attitude toward oneself and others, while subtly purifying harmful tendencies and karmic patterns. Over time, the mantra becomes a refuge, a source of strength, and a reminder that healing is ultimately the unfolding of wisdom.
