Medicine Guru Rinpoche (Orgyen Menla)
Orgyen Menla, the Healing Guru of Uddiyana, is Guru Rinpoche appearing in the aspect of Bhaishajyaguru (Medicine Buddha). He is deep blue in colour (like lapiz lazuli) and his right hand holds a stalk of precious medicinal herbs. The practice of Orgyen Menla combines the blessings and power of Guru Rinpoche and Medicine Buddha to bring powerful healing and dissolve all varieties of emotional, physical and mental illness. It is particularly effective in pacifying epidemics, other sicknesses, suffering and negative influences and is also beneficial for longevity and wisdom. The destructive forces of the imbalance of four elements are overcome by accomplishing Orgyen Menla. This is possible because Medicine Buddha (Healing Buddha) is no different from Guru, and Guru is no different from the primordial purity and perfection of one’s own awareness. All internal, external and secret obstacles and diseases are the results of one’s own confused state of existence. Praying, meditating and reciting the mantra of Ogyen Menla not only cure diseases and suffering at a relative level, but also lead to the realization of ultimate wisdom. Thus, we can completely go beyond suffering.
Orgyen Menla, as a meditational-deity is revealed only in the later termas (later revelations of treasure teachings) such as Chokling Tersar and Dudjom Tersar. Thus, the revelation is fresh and relatively free from Samaya impairments that come about over time. This makes it all the more effective and powerful in practice. According to Dungse Garab Rinpoche on Orgyen Menla practice: “Our destructible illusory human body is subject to temporary and long term deterioration that comes about due to the disturbance of elements. Sickness and obstacles will arise, threatening us with unbearable suffering and untimely death. Before and at the time of the arising of illnesses, we can always supplicate to Orgyen Menla, The King of Medicine, with strong faith. By being inseparable with Orgyen Menla, the sickness obstacles and suffering will definitely be removed so our life will not be exhausted.”
