About Yaoshi
The Yaoshi Bao Chan, officially titled the Cibei Yaoshi Bao Chan and sometimes known as the Medicine Buddha Repentance, is a Chinese Buddhist repentance rite. It is based around the Buddha Bhaiṣajyaguru, who is commonly known in Chinese as Yaoshi. The ritual was first composed during the early Qing dynasty (1644–1912), and is traditionally ascribed to the Nanshan Vinaya master Jianyue Duti. The ritual's liturgy received further edits and addendums in later periods, most notably by the Tiantai monk Shou Deng. In modern times, this rite remains a popular rite in the Chinese Buddhist ritual field, where it is typically performed to extinguish calamities, cure illnesses, prolong lifespans, resolve grievances as well as bring salvation to the deceased.
