Ojala que los muchos seres sensibles que estan enfermos sean rapidamente liberados de la enfermedad y que todos las enfermedades de los seres o resujan jamas.

Overall Meaning

The song "Medicine Buddha Mantra" by Lama Gyurme and Jean-Philippe Rykiel is a beautiful mantra urging for the healing of all sentient beings who are suffering from illnesses. The opening of the song, "Tayata," serves as a summoning chant to attract the attention of the deities towards the listener's plight. The following line "Om Bekandze Bekandze" is a repetition of the word "bekandze" which means 'eliminating pain,' essentially asking the Medicine Buddha to alleviate the listener's pain. The second repetition of the same phrase, “maha bekandze,” means 'great eliminating of pain.' It suggests a more significant and permanent cure for the suffering. The final verse, "Radza Samudgate Soha," is a supplication to the Medicine Buddha to manifest and heal the listener. The closing verse, "Ojala que los muchos seres sensibles que estan enfermos sean rapidamente liberados de la enfermedad y que todos las enfermedades de los seres o resujan jamas," in Spanish, means "May all sentient beings be free from disease quickly, and may no illness arise amongst them."

The song's calming and melodic nature reflects its purpose, which is to heal and alleviate pain, whether physical or emotional. The Medicine Buddha mantra has been used for centuries to remove negativity and enhance physical and emotional well-being. It is believed to manifest the light of healing for the unwell, both physically and spiritually. Its ancient history and universal recognition as a sacred mantra make it even more potent.
