The Sutra On The Original Vows And Merits Of The Medicine Master Lapis Lazuli Light Tathagata, Part 3 of 4

“At that time, the World Honored One entered a Samadhi called ‘Eliminating All the Suffering and Afflictions of Sentient Beings.’ Having entered that Samadhi, a brilliant Light shone forth from His usnisa (fleshy crown) as He uttered a great Dharani (mantra).” “As soon as the Medicine Buddha, in His radiance, had uttered this mantra, the entire earth shook and shone brilliant lights, curing the disease and eradicating the suffering of sentient beings, enabling them to enjoy peace and happiness. Manjusri, if people come across any man or woman suffering from illness, they should sincerely and frequently help that person bathe, cleanse, and rinse, then recite this mantra one hundred and eight times over his food, medicine, or water that is free from insects. Once the sick person has taken the food or drink, the illness and suffering will be eradicated.”
