Summary
s.1The Detailed Account of the Previous Aspirations of the Blessed Bhaiṣajyaguruvaiḍūryaprabha centers on the figure commonly known as the Medicine Buddha. The text opens in Vaiśālī, where the Buddha Śākyamuni is seated with a large retinue of human and divine beings. The bodhisattva Mañjuśrī asks Śākyamuni to teach the names and previous aspirations of the buddhas, along with the benefit that buddhas can bring during future times when the Dharma has nearly disappeared. The Buddha gives a teaching on the name and previous aspirations of the Buddha Bhaiṣajyaguruvaiḍūryaprabha, and then details the benefits that arise from hearing and retaining this buddha’s name.
s.1《藥師琉璃光如來本願功德經》以廣為人知的藥師佛為中心。經文在毘舍離開篇，釋迦牟尼佛與眾多人天眾圍繞而坐。菩薩文殊師利請求釋迦牟尼講述諸佛的名號和過去的願望，以及當法即將衰微時，諸佛在未來時代能夠帶來的利益。佛陀講述了藥師琉璃光如來的名號和過去的願望，並詳細說明了聽聞和受持這位佛的名號所帶來的利益。
