Medicine Buddha is the buddha of healing and medicine in Mahāyāna Buddhism. He is described as a doctor who cures dukkha (suffering) using the medicine of his teachings.
The practice of Medicine Buddha, the Supreme Healer (or Sangye Menla in Tibetan) is not only a very powerful method for healing and increasing healing powers both for oneself and others, but also for overcoming the inner sickness of attachment, hatred, and ignorance, thus to meditate on the Medicine Buddha is said to help decrease physical and mental illness and suffering.
