So thought of putting up a couple of posts regarding Bhaisajyaguru Buddha..... Since not many people know about Bhaisajyaguru Buddha. Might just do a really short description....
Bhaisajyaguru Vaidurya Prabha Rajaya Tathagata or translated to English as Master of Healing, Lapis Lazuli radiance Tathagata or in Chinese 藥師琉璃光如來, is the Buddha of the Eastern Pureland. Bhaisajyaguru Buddha is part of the Trinity (Bhaisajyaguru Buddha on the left, Amitabha Buddha on the right and Sakyamuni Buddha at the centre) in many Chinese monastery/temple.
Bhaisajyaguru Buddha is often portrayed holding a pagoda.
In the eastern pureland (lapis Lazuli pure land), Bhaisajyaguru Buddha has two main Bodhisattvas as disciples, Moon Radiance Bodhisattva (月光遍照菩薩) and Sun Radiance Bodhisattva (日光遍照菩薩)....
Bhaisajyaguru Buddha and Both Boddhisattvas are often referred as the Eastern Pure land Trinity.
Bhaisajyaguru Buddha made 12 vows before attaining Buddhahood....
Will post those on the next one.
