The basic calculation method is:1 time = 1 recitation of the Long Mantra of the Medicine Buddha。
If you choose to practice in other ways, you may use the following Dharma realm equivalent conversion:

• The Medicine Master's Mantra 1 recitation = 1 recitation
• Short Mantra of the Medicine Buddha 4 times = 1 time
• Chanting “Namo Bhagavate Bhaisajyaguru Vaisravana Tathagata” 8 times = 1 time (Buddha's name is approximately 16 characters: 16:1)
• Reciting the Sutra of the Original Vows and Merits of the Medicine Buddha 1 time = 80 recitations
• Copying the Medicine Buddha Sutra by hand once = 2,000 times
• Copying the Medicine Buddha Sutra once with a brush pen = 10,000 times

If using the YouTube chanting audio file, each playback cycle is approximately equivalent to 67 times。
It is recommended to focus on sincerity and concentration rather than speed; each pure recitation is a complete and perfect act of merit.

If you accidentally mispronounce a word or become distracted, simply refocus your attention—there is no need to restart the count.
The essence of the Medicine Buddha practice lies in sincere aspiration and reverence, not in perfect recitation. Through persistent and earnest chanting, merit remains undiminished.

Morning and night are the most tranquil times, particularly suitable for recitation.
But it can be recited at any time, provided the environment is quiet and the mind is focused.

No elaborate rituals are required. Simply sit upright, clasp your hands, and keep your mind clear.
If you wish, you may offer flowers, water, or incense before the Buddha to express your reverence.

Certainly. After reciting, you may dedicate the merits to family members, friends, the sick, the deceased, or all sentient beings.
When dedicating merits, one may mentally recite: “May the merits gained from this recitation benefit all sentient beings, bringing them physical and mental well-being, freedom from suffering, and attainment of happiness.”

Certainly. Before reciting, you may first make a vow, such as praying for peace of mind and body, the health of your family, the elimination of karmic obstacles, or the growth of wisdom. The purer and more resolute your vow, the deeper and more extensive the response will be.

Certainly. The Medicine Buddha Dharma is a path of compassion and healing, transcending sectarian boundaries.
As long as one recites with blessings and benevolent thoughts, one will receive the protection of Buddha's light.

The aspiration of the Ten Billion Medicine Buddha Dharani Project is to enable all sentient beings to collectively attain pure enlightenment through their own efforts.
There is no minimum requirement; every recitation and every aspiration will be counted. Focus on wholehearted devotion rather than competitive counting. Merit grows with the strength of your aspirations.

The Peaceful Earth Initiative is an extension of the Awakening Public Welfare Platform, aiming to amplify the energy cultivated through personal practice into a global aspiration for peace through prayer, meditation, and virtuous deeds.
Regardless of religious beliefs, language, or cultural background, everyone can unite with a bright heart to protect the Earth.

You may join the monthly “Global Peace Practice Day” to recite the Medicine Buddha Mantra and the Peace Prayer together, or submit your prayers on the platform. For participation details, please see Peaceful Earth Zone。

The core aspiration is: “May the Earth be pure and radiant, may all beings be free from suffering and find peace, may nations understand one another, and may peoples respect each other.”
You may add blessings for the Earth, plants and animals, and human society according to your personal beliefs.

Certainly. Both share a common aspiration: the Medicine Buddha practice heals body and mind, while Peaceful Earth extends compassion across the globe. Each chanting of mantras, each prayer, each act of kindness is a ray of light making the Earth more peaceful.

Welcome. As long as you uphold the spirit of purity, peace, and non-sectarianism, you may freely organize prayer events. You may submit event details to the platform, and we will assist in publishing them or coordinating prayers.

Yes, the platform periodically hosts online group practice sessions, guided meditations, peace prayer ceremonies, and other activities. Please stay tuned for official announcements.
