medicine buddha practice

Post by jay »

I would like to do a medicine buddha practice and have received the lung from ChNN, but have not found any information for the practice. There are no books on it at shangshung. I would be very grateful if someone could tell me how i do this practice.

Thankyou :smile:

Here's a post that might help:

Chögyal Namkhai Norbu Rinpoche often gives the Lung transmission for the Medicine Buddha as well (of course we don't need the Lung transmission in order to practice a Sutra version of the Medicine Buddha Sadhana).
And like I said Chögyal Namkhai Norbu Rinpoche gives the Lung transmission for Medicine Buddha, however I haven't seen any book by him on Medicine Buddha.

In receiving the said Lung transmission from Chögyal Namkhai Norbu Rinpoche, I don't see why we couldn't do either of the practices in the above two books.

Jay, ask Rinpoche. There are many different Medicine Buddha practices with differing visualizations.
