Padmasambhava’s Healing Prayer
In Tibet, Padmasambhava “The Lotus-Born” is venerated as the second Buddha, as well as the founder of Tibetan Buddhism. He is commonly referred to as “Guru Rinpoche” (Precious Teacher).
The following wish-fulfilling healing prayer was given by Padmasambhava to the prince of Tibet in the eighth century. In this prayer, Padmasambhava is personified as the reincarnation of the Medicine Buddha, the divine physician who can cure all ills.
By praying to this archetypal form we enter into the healing current of transcendental energy and blessings.
