After Sakyamuni Buddha attained buddhahood beneath the Bodhi Tree, he contemplated the living beings in the Saha world and discovered that we have the deepest affinities with two Buddhas--Medicine Master Vaidurya Light Tathagata in the East and Amitabha Tathagata in the West. The name of Medicine Master Vaidurya Light Tathagata has saved many of us from falling into the three paths of suffering. If this Buddha's name didn't exist in the world, all of us might have fallen into the hells, turned into hungry ghosts or become animals long ago, and it would be very difficult for us to become humans again. But because of Medicine Master Buddha's vows, even if you have committed the ten evils or broken the precepts or the rules of pure eating, if you hear this Buddha's name with its myriad virtues, you will attain bliss and be freed from offenses, suffering, and birth and death.
