Nam mo Bon Su Thich Ca Mau Ni Phat! (Recite 3 times)
Nam mo Duoc Su Luu Ly Quang Vuong Phat! (Recite 3 times)
Nam mo Dai Tu Dai Bi Tam Thanh Cuu Kho Cuu Nan Linh Cam Ung Quan The Am Bo Tat! (Recite 3 times, with 3 bows)
Reverently bowing to all Buddhas of the Ten Directions, the Great Bodhisattvas, the Noble Sangha, and the Dharma-Protecting Deities.
Reverently bowing to the Teacher of the Eastern Pure Lapis Lazuli Realm, Medicine Master and King of Lapis Lazuli Light Buddha (Duoc Su Luu Ly Quang Vuong Phat), Sunlight All-Pervading Bodhisattva (Nhat Quang Bien Chieu Bo Tat), Moonlight All-Pervading Bodhisattva (Nguyet Quang Bien Chieu Bo Tat), and the Twelve Yaksha Generals.
Today is …………………….
………… ………………………………, currently residing at: ………….
Before the serene sanctuary of the Three Jewels, ………… wholeheartedly offer pure water, fresh lotus and chrysanthemum blossoms, wholesome vegetarian fruit and three sticks of fragrant incense, turning our minds in single-hearted refuge toward the compassionate lapis-lazuli radiance of the Buddhas and Bodhisattvas.
………… humbly submit: within our household at this time, our beloved family member is experiencing physical illness (or preparing to undergo medical treatment and surgery at the hospital). Because the four bodily elements have fallen out of balance, strength has waned and sleep has grown restless, filling our entire family with heartfelt concern.
Looking up to the Twelve Great Vows of Medicine Buddha to relieve the sufferings of illness and the soothing sweet-dew willow branch of Bodhisattva Avalokiteshvara, ………… earnestly pray that the Buddhas and Bodhisattvas shine luminous healing light upon our loved one.
May our loved one be blessed with the auspicious conditions to meet wise, attentive physicians and receive the exact medicine needed; may the doctors, surgeons and nurses be steady of hand, clear of mind and full of compassion; may every medical procedure proceed safely and smoothly; may prescribed remedies nourish and restore the body, dissolving physical affliction while anchoring calm courage within the heart.
Your humble disciples ………… and our entire household vow to cultivate wholesome thoughts, abstain from taking life, follow every medical instruction faithfully, and practice charity, life-release and kindness toward fellow patients, dedicating all merit toward our loved one's swift and complete recovery.
Nam mo Duoc Su Luu Ly Quang Vuong Phat! (Recite 3 times, with 3 bows to conclude)
