How to Practice Medicine Buddha Meditation

GETTING STARTED

FIND A QUIET PLACE TO MEDITATE AND ASSUME THE OPTIMAL MEDITATION POSTURE FOR YOU. TAKE REFUGE IN THE BUDDHA, DHARMA, AND SANGHA, AND THEN SPEND A SHORT TIME ESTABLISHING YOUR MOTIVATION IN A HEARTFELT WAY. YOU MAY THINK OR SAY: “BY THIS PRACTICE OF MEDICINE BUDDHA, MAY I (OR THE BEING FOR WHOM I AM PRACTICING) BE PURIFIED OF ALL DISEASE, PAIN, AND SUFFERING, AND ENJOY ROBUST GOOD HEALTH, AND ATTAIN COMPLETE AND PERFECT ENLIGHTENMENT TO LEAD ALL OTHER BEINGS TO THIS SAME STATE.”
While visualizing this process, recite Medicine Buddha’s mantra. There are a few variants of the mantra, depending on lineage. This is one version of the mantra, which is in Sanskrit:

TAYATA, OM BEKADZE BEKADZE

Food offerings are laid out in front of the grave or niche or at the temple altar. Red candles and joss sticks are also lit. Descendants pay their respects by kowtowing, kneeling or bowing before the grave, niche or tablet, usually with lighted joss sticks in their hands. Traditionally, male members of the family offer their prayers first, followed by the females. Next, mock money and paper gifts are burned to ensure that the ancestors are not short of material comforts in the afterworld.

What is the Difference Between an ACP, a Lasting Power of Attorney and an Advance Medical Directive?

What is the Difference Between an ACP, a Lasting Power of Attorney and an Advance Medical Directive? Let us examine the differences between an ACP,  Lasting Power of Attorney (LPA)  and  Advance Medical Directive (AMD) , which are other commonly-known estate planning tools: ACP and LPA Unlike the ACP, which is non-binding, an LPA is a legal document that appoints donee(s) to act on your behalf should you lose capacity to make your own decisions, in areas spanning personal welfare (including healthcare decisions) and property/financial affairs. An LPA can only be made if you are at least 21 years of age. On the other hand, there is no age limit to starting an ACP and involves the appointment of an NHS to make solely healthcare decisions for you.
