The Importance of Being a Law

Medicine Buddha’s Birthday Celebration – Chanting Service

The Pure Land of Medicine Buddha symbolizes growth. It says in the sutra that when Medicine Buddha was cultivation the path of Buddhahood, he made twelve great vows. He vowed to help us sentient beings so that we grow in wisdom and are successful in our careers and endeavors; he vowed to help us when we are handicapped, poor, and helpless. He vowed that we will not be lacking in food and other necessities, that we do not fall prey to false teachings that we do not break the law and thus are safe from the pain of punishment, that there is equality between the genders, and that we will become Buddhas. With his great vows, Medicine Buddha manifests the Pure Land of Azure Radiance in the east.
