As part of my current therapy I now do about an hour's worth of Medicine Buddha puja almost every AM. It's a Buddhist mantra designed to help healing. I have a couple of Medicine Buddha CDs which I play while doing the puja. I use a couple of yoga techniques and visualization along with the mantra. I've only been at it about a couple of months but I feel it is doing some good, however, there are no guarantees.
One of my old classmates from Cherokee, KS, class of '51, wrote me a couple of months back telling me he had a very aggressive form of prostate cancer and about the only thing that might save him is surgical removal of entire prostate and perhaps some extra trimming here and there. I offered to do Medicine Buddha for him. At first he declined explaining that he was a Christian. Today I got another mail and a health report which was not good (in pre surgery physical problems were found which may prevent surgery in which case my pal will probably be dead in 3 or 4 months). However, after consideration my pal says he wants me to go ahead with Medicine Buddha and that he feels there is no conflict between it and his Christian belief system. I agree so I'm putting him on the prayer list.
I have a nice print out of a Medicine Buddha thanka (He's blue, by the way) and I'm putting my pals name, date and place of birth on the back of this picture -- this will log him into the puja system. If anybody else is in need of or simply wants the benefit of an hour's worth of Medicine Buddha most days send me your name, date and place of birth and I'll get you logged into the system. There is no overload. 2 names or 200, Medicine Buddha will work equally for any or all.

If you need more info use Google and do a search for Medicine Buddha. You'll get more stuff than you might want and certainly more than you will need.
