Saka Dawa: Medicine Buddha Puja
Saka Dawa Duchen, one of the four great holy days in the Tibetan calendar, marks pivotal moments in the life of Shakyamuni Buddha—each a powerful display of enlightened activity for the benefit of all sentient beings. On this sacred day, the merit generated by virtuous actions is said to be magnified 300 million times.
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.
