药师佛心咒
Yes, you are correct. This is the Medicine Buddha Mantra (药师佛心咒), associated with the Buddha of Healing in Mahayana and Tibetan Buddhism.
The Medicine Buddha Mantra
Sanskrit transliteration:
Tadyathat Om Bekandze Bekandze Maha Bekandze, Raja Samudgate Soha
As Following: Aum, Bekandze, Medicine Buddha's name
Raja: king
Samudgate: arisen
soha: so be it
Tadyatha Om Bekandze Bekandze Maha Bekandze Radza Samudgate Soha.
Your pronunciation, “deyata aum beikan ze beikan ze lazasamu gadie so ha,” is a phonetic approximation of this mantra.
Meaning in Chinese
- Tadyatha (怛姪他): Thus, it is as follows; or “like this.”
- Om (唵): A sacred syllable.
- Bekandze Bekandze (贝堪则,贝堪则): Commonly interpreted as referring to healing or the removal of suffering and disease.
- Maha Bekandze (摩诃贝堪则): Great healing, or great remover of suffering.
- Radza Samudgate (惹杂萨穆迦谛): A phrase interpreted differently across translations, often associated with supreme or complete liberation.
- Soha (梭哈): A traditional mantra ending, often understood as an invocation or expression of dedication.
In simple terms: The mantra is commonly understood as an invocation for healing, the removal of suffering, and liberation from ignorance.
One important note: Mantras often carry layers of spiritual significance, and their syllables do not always translate word for word into ordinary English or Chinese. The explanations above convey their commonly understood meanings rather than a definitive literal translation.
The Sanskrit word “samudgate” (समुद्गते) can mean “arisen,” “risen up,” or “come forth.”
In Chinese, you could express it as 升起、涌现、显现.
In the Medicine Buddha Mantra, it is understood in a spiritual context as referring to arising or manifesting. Some Buddhist explanations interpret it in connection with healing and liberation.
The phrase “radza samudgate” is therefore sometimes interpreted as referring to the King of Healing who has arisen or fully manifested. This is an interpretive translation, not an exact word-for-word translation agreed upon by all traditions.
