The Buddhas and Bodhisattvas in traditional Buddhism include: the three Buddhas and the eight Bodhisattvas, which are also familiar to most people. What can different Buddhas pray for, and what are the major Buddhas and Bodhisattvas in charge of? This article will introduce the prayer and worship aspects of Sakyamuni Buddha, Medicine Buddha, Manjushri Bodhisattva, etc. Let’s learn how to correctly pray for the blessing of Buddhas and Bodhisattvas.
Sakyamuni Buddha
Sakyamuni means “able to be benevolent”, “able to be Confucian”, “able to endure”, “able to be silent”, etc. Because his father was a Sakyamuni, he was honored as Sakyamuni after he became enlightened, and righteousness is “the saint of the Sakyamuni”. As long as it is not an indivisible wish, Sakyamuni Buddha will generally accept it.
Those who are dedicated to Sakyamuni Buddha should pray to the Buddha for wisdom, rare life skills, understanding the cause and effect of the three worlds, but life and death, and praying to jump out of the great multiplication of the six realms of reincarnation, rather than the enjoyment of the world. People in the world must pay attention to this.
Medicine Buddha
Apothecary Buddha, also known as “Apothecary Buddha”, can bless the world to eliminate disasters, prolong life, and eliminate diseases. Many elderly and sick people will worship Apothecary Buddha to pray for health and longevity. Apothecary Buddha is in charge of health, longevity, and blessing in addition to Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva.
The essence of Medicine Buddha’s Dharma is “letting go”. Unlike other Buddhas, Buddhism favors the blessing of “letting go” and ignores worldly issues, such as gold, silver and wealth; but Medicine Buddha is different. His great wish shows that he wants to make the world prosperous, healthy and happy.
Amitabha
Amitabha Buddha specializes in the rebirth of Buddha-chanting people to become Buddhas. The Buddha is bright and boundless, according to the ten kingdoms, there are no obstacles. Only those who pray for Buddha-chanting people are reluctant to give up. This is the fundamental wish of Amitabha Buddha. You can pray for a long life, suitable for the elderly and many patients to worship;
Pray for rebirth, pray to reduce the pain at death and the rebirth after death (pray for reincarnation to come to life); remove diseases and eliminate disasters, save suffering and help people, suffer less from illness and suffering, and reduce suffering and troubles; recite Amitabha Buddha more, and the merits are immeasurable.
Lamplight Buddha
The Lamp-Burning Buddha was the Buddha before Sakyamuni Buddha. In the past, the head of thousands of Buddhas born in the solemn tribulation was called the Lamp-Burning Buddha because everything around him was as bright as a lamp when he was born. Many Buddhas and Bodhisattvas recorded in the Buddhist scriptures were all disciples under his seat.
The Lamp-Burning Buddha can purify our body, mouth, and mind karma, resolve unjust relatives and creditors, avoid suffering all kinds of suffering in the three paths, resolve evil spirits in our hearts, eliminate karma obstacles that violate our karma, inspire the good roots in our hearts, and open up complete wisdom.

The meaning he represents is: first, you must have a belly and be tolerant; second, you must be compassionate, and you must receive all sentient beings with a joyful heart., a big belly that can tolerate things that are intolerable in the world; laugh when you open your mouth, laugh at the ridiculous people in the world.
