Buddha of Medicine (Skt. Bhaiṣajyagurubuddha; Tib. Sangyé Menla; Wyl. sangs rgyas sman bla) — an important buddha in the Mahayana, whose main initial vow as a bodhisattva was to become able to completely free all sentient beings from their illnesses. In Tibetan Buddhism, he is central to the Four Medical Tantras, which are the basis of Tibetan medicine, and to many sadhanas of healing.
