A Soothing Hymn to the Medicine Buddha
This song is a contemporary devotional track that wraps listeners in the serene glow of the Medicine Buddha, Bhaiṣajyaguru Buddha. Blending soft pop sensibilities with sacred mantra, the song drifts through imagery of lapis light, healing waters, and the dissolving of fear. Its refrain — the timeless Tayata Om Bekandze mantra — anchors the piece in a gentle, meditative rhythm while modern melodic lines make it accessible to a wider audience. Radiant, calming, and deeply heartfelt, this song offers a moment of stillness in a noisy world, inviting listeners to breathe, release, and return to inner peace.

Lyrics

[Intro]

Blue as sky, calm as water,

Healing flows — peace grows deeper.

[Verse 1]

In your lapis light I rest,

Gentle blue upon my chest,

Every breath, a wave of peace,

Pain and worry find release.

[Chorus]

Tayata Om Bekandze Bekandze Maha Bekandze Radza Samudgate Soha

Shine your light through every part,

Heal this body, calm this heart.

Bhaiṣajyaguru Buddhaya,

Guide me in your blue nirvana.

[Verse 2]

Let all fear just drift away,

Like the clouds that fade in day,

Let all beings healed and free,

Find their peace in clarity.

[Chorus]

Tayata Om Bekandze Bekandze Maha Bekandze Radza Samudgate Soha

Blue like water, pure and kind,

Ease the heart and clear the mind.

Bhaiṣajyaguru Buddhaya,

May all live in calm samaya.

[Bridge]

Blue light falling, hearts unfolding,

Boundless peace, all fear dissolving.

[Echo chant]

Om Bekandze Bekandze…

Maha Bekandze… Soha…

[Final Refrain]

Tayata Om Bekandze Bekandze Maha Bekandze Radza Samudgate Soha

Free from fear, free from pain,

Peace within again, again…
