Medicine Buddha

This Buddha symbolizes positive, joyous feelings and attitudes that pass through each organ and circulate throughout our whole system so that our energies are transformed and balanced. The Medicine Buddha holds a healing herb in the right hand, and a begging bowl in the left.

Healing in Buddhism ultimately refers to awakening. The ignorance that is convinced of the existence of self can be healed with awakening wisdom and awakening compassion.

Avalokiteshvara

The Bodhisattva of Compassion.

Avalokiteshvara , also known as Chenrezig, is the embodiment of infinite compassion. Long ago he vowed not to return to nirvana until he had liberated all beings from suffering.

When one’s heart is steeped in compassion, no dissension can bring disruptions; if one’s heart is strengthened by compassion, the mind enjoys sweet coolness, like a clear pool which no passion can agitate, no fire or anger can destroy.

Enlightenment Buddha

When Shakyamuni took his seat under the Bodhi Tree, resolving to ease the suffering of living beings through his Enlightenment, the forces of Mara gathered to distract him from his purpose. The "demons" are aspects of self-attachment and self-grasping. As the higher awareness of Enlightenment dawns, such attachment melts.

Rays of light by the hundreds of thousands emanate from this Buddha’s body and spread throughout the fields of the Jinas. In this instant all worries are set aside: suffering, pride and hatred no longer torment anyone forever more.

Yeshe Tsogyal

Yeshe Tsogyal lived during the time that Padmasambhava brought Buddhism to Tibet. Her intelligence, perseverance, devotion, and pure motivation all were exceptional. As well as being the most important woman in the Nyingma lineage, she occupies a place of central importance within the Vajrayana and especially the lineage of Padmasambhava, the great teacher who embodies the enlightened state. She received all of Padmasambhava's teachings, as if the contents of one vessel were poured into another. Traditionally she is compared to a crown, a jewel, a leader, and a guide. Her accomplishments and realizations have seldom been equaled, and the merit of her actions is beyond description.
