TSA TSA

The Tibetan Tsa Tsa are clay molds of various shapes (Stupa, Buddha...) made for religious purposes. Making a Tsa-Tsa is a source of immeasurable merit for the person who makes it, for the person who wears it or for the places where it is placed. Thanks to its spiritual power it pacifies, protects, and blesses all the places where it is deposited.

MEDICINE BUDDHA

The bodhisattva career of the Medicine Buddha is described in the

Bhaiṣajyaguru-sūtra, He made twelve vows, two of which specifically express His desire to heal and save. He became a Buddha in a world called Vaidūryanirbhāsa or “Like lapis lazuli”. located in the East, where he is accompanied by the bodhisattvas Sūryaprabha (Solar Clarity), on his left and Candraprabha (Lunar Clarity) on his right. In China, we refer to the version of the sūtra translated by Xuanzang: Bhaiṣajya guru Vaidūrya Prabhāsa Pūrva praṇidhāna viśeṣa vistara (Yàoshī liúlíguāng rúlái běnyuàngōngdé jīng 《藥師琉璃光如來本願功德經》).

Like Akshobhya, Bhaiṣajyaguru is master of an "eastern paradise" and can form a pair with Amitābha, master of the "western paradise" Sukhāvatī. Amitābha's paradise is also mentioned in the Bhaiṣajyaguru sūtra. According to the Sapta tathāgata-Pūrva praṇidhāna viśeṣa vistara (Seven Tathāgatas Vow Sutra), Bhaśajyaguru possesses seven emanations representing seven different modalities of healing or protection. In Tibet its image can serve as a support for meditation to overcome attachment and negative feelings. the Medicine Buddha or Sangye Menla (in Tibetan) is a tantric deity of Tibetan Buddhism.

Sangye Menla tantric meditation was introduced to Tibet in the 8th century by Shantarakshita. This meditation was synthesized in the 19th century by Jamgon Kongtrul Lodrö Thayé. His mantra is considered to have great strength against physical illnesses or to purify negative karma. In Japan, Yakushi Nyorai has been the object of an important cult in Japan since the seventh century when it supplanted Akṣobhya (Ashuku).

Located to the east, it rather represents the rising sun, life, while Amida, which is to the west, is linked to the setting sun and the world of the dead. Patronized by the Tendai school which maintained close relations with the imperial family, this master Buddha of the East was associated with the emperor.

He has sometimes been identified with Jizo. He is the 7th of the thirteen Buddhas in the tradition of Shingon Buddhism, and as such is associated with the funeral rites which take place at the end of the 49 days after death.

In the representations, and the particular mandalas dedicated to him, he is assisted by Nikko the boddhisattva of solar light and gakko of lunar light. It is also protected and served by 12 celestial generals, yakshas which can have several meanings, such as hours, months, directions, etc. However, he does not appear on the taizōkai and kongōkai mandalas because his cult is not of tantric origin.

Of the many temples dedicated to him, the most famous is Yakushi-ji in Nara. In this same city, the Hōryū-ji and the Tō-ji also shelter a statue of the Buddha of medicine, that of Hōryū-ji dating from the middle of the seventh century. In China, it is revered for its virtues as a healer and protector against calamities.

The most common rite involves reading one's vow 49 times, lighting 49 votive lamps, and hanging paper prayer flags 49 days in a row. There are very few temples dedicated exclusively to him.

The group of eight medical Buddhas, its seven emanations accompanied by Shākyamuni, can be replaced by another group comprising Manjushri, Maitreya, Avalokiteśvara, Mahāsthāmaprāpta, Akṣayamati, Ratnacandanapuṣpa, Bhaiṣajyarāja, and Bhaiṣajyasamudgata, (文殊師利;彌勒; 觀世音; 大勢至; 無盡意; 寶檀華; 藥王; 藥上).
