The cult of the Medicine or Healing Buddha is much popular in Tibet, China and Japan. He is the physician of human passions, and the unfailing healer of the ills of samsara. According to a tradition, for the sake of lay patients and sick disciples, the Buddha appeared as Bhaisajyaguru and taught Rgud-bzhi (Science of Medicine) at Sudarshana, in Sanskrit. Sudarshana is Indra's palace on Mount Sumeru. The Buddha stayed here for four years in the medicine forest. The Buddha created this forest with a mountain plateau on which he manifested Sudarshana. Various Devas, Sages, Buddhists and non-Buddhists surrounded him. To turned the wheel of medicinal science, he became Bhaishajyaguru and attained the Samadhi called 'expelling 404 diseases." Bhaishajyaguru is said to dispense spiritual medicine when properly worshipped. References. Alice Getty, The Gods of Northern Buddhism, Tokyo, 1962. A.
