The pharmacist glazed Buddha is also known as the Great Doctor King Buddha. When practicing Bodhisattva, the pharmacist Buddha made twelve big wishes. Each big wish was to satisfy the wishes of all sentient beings and cure their sufferings. Since becoming a Buddha, he has been practicing big wishes. Most people call him the pharmacist Buddha to eliminate disasters and prolong life. The Three Sages of the East, also known as the Three Sages of Pharmacists, are the Three Buddhas and Three Bodhisattvas in the Pure Land of the East, compared with the Three Sages of the West.
Generally speaking, it is the pharmacist Buddha, the sunlight Buddha and the moonlight Buddha. In the lightning age, a layman and his two sons made up their minds to save all the suffering beings in the world. Pharmacists' Three Gods helped all sentient beings, especially the wounded sentient beings, and made them get happy benefits. Many Bodhisattvas in the Oriental Pure Glass Light World are led by Sunlight Bodhisattvas and Moonlight Bodhisattvas. The two of them will fill the position in turn after the pharmacist Buddha's nirvana.
Brief introduction of the three sages of the East
Pharmacists were originally used to describe doctors who could cure greed, anger and delusion of all beings. In China, Buddhism is generally used to pray for eliminating disasters and prolonging life. Pharmacist Buddha is also known as pharmacist coloured glaze Buddha and drinking light Buddha. According to the Buddhist scriptures, the pharmacist Buddha made twelve wishes when practicing Bodhisattva, and each wish was to satisfy all sentient beings, uproot their suffering and cure their diseases.
Sunlight Bodhisattva, also known as the sun shines, the sun shines. He is the left-handed follower of the pharmacist Buddha, and together with the Moonlight Bodhisattva, he is the two assistants of the pharmacist Buddha. It is also the first bodhisattva among countless bodhisattvas in the pharmacist Buddha country. The Sunshine Bodhisattva has a deep relationship with the pharmacist Buddha. In the distant past, lightning came to the world.
At that time, there was a Brahma who raised two sons. Because I feel the chaos in the world, I am Bodhi, vowing to save all suffering beings. At that time, Lightning Tathagata was deeply impressed by it, and advised Brahman to change his name to Medicine King, and the second son changed to sunshine and moonlight.
Moonlight Bodhisattva, also known as Moonlight Bodhisattva and Moonlight Shining Bodhisattva. He is the right-hand man of the pharmacist Buddha. According to the Buddhist Scripture, the Moonlight Bodhisattva and the Sunlight Bodhisattva are the first and second of countless bodhisattvas. In addition, according to the method of practicing pharmacists' rituals, the Moonlight Bodhisattva is white, riding in the constellation Goose and holding the moon wheel.
Like the Sunlight Bodhisattva, the Moonlight Bodhisattva is closely related to the mercy curse of Guanyin Bodhisattva. For practitioners who recite the mantra of great compassion, the Moonlight Bodhisattva will also work with the boundless gods to enhance the effectiveness of holding the mantra.
