After a chapter on the role of healing in Buddhism, the book discusses the various Buddhas and scriptures involved in this process, and the rituals through which curative power is released. A scholarly, sympathetic, and well-written book."—Religious Studies Review "One couldn't ask for a better book on this very interesting subject."—Philosophy East & West "A valuable contribution to our understanding of an aspect of Buddhism hitherto little known in the West."—John Blofeld *Product Description* This book presents important discourses that deal with the Healing Buddha in his various manifestations and discusses the many symbols, colors, and deities that are used as objects of meditation. The accompanying photographs of sculptures, paintings, and mandalas demonstrate the importance of art and aesthetic experience in Buddhist healing practices. Also included is a history of healing in the development of Buddhism from the earliest texts and the famous Lotus Sutra to the Buddhism of Tibet, where elaborate ritual is used in the healing of body and mind. Some of the many herbs and medicines used to treat disease in the Buddhist cultures of Asia are described in an appendix. A new preface and a new essay on the search for long life in Chinese Buddhism have been added to this revised edition. *Reader Reviews* Its the only source i know for the sutra called Contemplation of the Two Bodhisattvas King of Healing and Supreme Healer and the Sutra on the Merits of The Seven Buddhas of Lapis Lazuli Radiance The Masters of Healing, a true jewel in the hand for the sick or needy endowed with a noble mind and good intentions Back To Top
