The 12 Medicine Buddha 十二药叉伸将

Dear Readers,

Many believe that only the zodiac that are against the Tai Sui in the Dragon year 壬辰 need to pray to the Tai Sui also known as Grand Duke of Jupiter. How about those zodiacs that not against the Grand Duke but want to seek good health and better luck in the Dragon Year?

In my earlier post on zodiac luck in dragon year, I mentioned about the protection Buddha, one can either chant, offer prayer or buy an amulet to wear. In this post is about the 12 Medicine Buddha 十二药叉伸将, each zodiac is protected by a medicine or health Buddha. The Buddhist temple at 817 Bukit Batok West Ave 5 (next to Bukit Batok Driving Ctr),Tel 66657566, did offer prayer of the 12 zodiac Medicine Buddha during the new year; from first day to 15th day of Lunar New Year.

THE RAT - 招杜罗大将.

THE OX - 毘羯罗大将.

THE TIGER - 宫毘罗大将.
