✨ Introduction

In the Medicine Buddha Sutra (Bhaisajyaguru Vaidurya Prabharaja Sutra), the Buddha introduced a powerful path of healing and salvation through the name and vows of Medicine Buddha. Protecting this sacred teaching are the Twelve Yaksha Generals, with Kumbhīra standing as their foremost leader.

🔶 Name and Origin

Sanskrit Name: Kumbhīra
Chinese: 宮悉利 (Cung Tật Lợi / Gong Xili)
Vietnamese Transcription: Cung Tật Lợi
Name Meaning:
- “Cung” (宮): palace or divine realm.
- “Tật Lợi” (悉利): swift, sharp, beneficial.
  → Full name suggests a powerful being who swiftly appears to benefit sentient beings.

🛡 Spiritual Role and Abilities

As the leading general among the Twelve Yaksha Guardians, Kumbhīra represents:

Quick-witted wisdom: Enlightens minds clouded by confusion or ignorance.
Swift manifestation: Among the first to respond to the calls of devoted practitioners.
Pioneering energy: Helps initiate faith, encourages early steps on the spiritual path.

🔍 Spiritual Symbolism of Kumbhīra

Symbol	Meaning
🌀 Wind-like speed	Responds instantly to protect those who recite the Medicine Buddha Sutra
🧠 Sharp intellect	Inspires insight, mental clarity, and effective learning
🔥 Leading energy	Clears away inertia, ignorance, and confusion
🛡 Protective vanguard	Serves as the first guardian in the twelve-yaksha retinue

📿 How to Invoke and Honor Kumbhīra

When chanting the Medicine Buddha Sutra, practitioners may recite:

“Namo Great General Kumbhīra Yaksha Protector”
(Chanted 3, 7, or 21 times with sincere intent)

Visualize Kumbhīra appearing in front of you, holding a radiant weapon, guarding against invisible forces, illnesses, and sudden misfortunes. This practice fosters protection, inner strength, and divine support.

✍️ A Folk Legend Illustration

According to tradition:

A wandering monk in ancient India was tormented by evil spirits, rendering him incoherent and unable to memorize the Dharma. After being taught to chant the name of Medicine Buddha and invoke Kumbhīra, his mind gradually cleared. He later became one of the most eloquent Dharma teachers of his region.

📌 Conclusion

Kumbhīra is not only the foremost among the Twelve Generals of Medicine Buddha but also a symbol of swiftness, clarity, and spiritual protection. In our fast-changing and chaotic world, establishing a spiritual connection with such protectors empowers us to navigate hardships, dissolve karmic obstacles, and continue our path of inner cultivation with courage and light.
