8th Lunar: Medicine Buddha Day, First Quarter Moon Waxing
For those who practice the glorious Lapis Lazuli Light Medicine Buddha, the 8th (first quarter) moon is a traditional Puja Day, along with the main one on the lunar full moon.
As the compassionate Buddha of the 12 vows, it is appropriate to offer vegetarian offerings, Medicine Buddha Mantras, his very profound and powerful Dharani, and especially to recite the glorious Sutra of Medicine Buddha. On his special day, merit is multiplied.
