The healing energy of all enlightened beings is manifested in the Sangye Menla, also known as the Medicine Buddha. He is highly revered in all Buddhist traditions, but notably for his pledge to help beings overcome the mental and physical ailments that stand in the way of their spiritual practice. Menla Sangay is considered to be very effective for healing and for developing a compassionate heart since he embodies the ideal balance between spirituality and science in medicine.
