藥師佛壇
藥師佛壇 與 禪修花園
藥師佛壇供奉著藥師佛、羅漢、金剛天王、金剛杵及菩薩等聖像。作為許多參訪金音寺的首站，以及寺院主要的公共空間之一，這片神聖園地見證了無數人在此結下的善緣與深厚情誼。
藥師佛
在大乘佛教传统中，药师佛以其疗愈之力而广为人知并备受尊崇。依据《药师琉璃光如来本愿功德经》，一切疾病皆源于人心的贪、嗔、痴三毒。药师佛是无上导师，教导我们调伏自心。当我们的心灵远离烦恼系缚时，身体的健康亦将随之受益。
在艺术表现上，药师佛与释迦牟尼佛相似，常身着传统僧衣，神态宁静安详。他结跏趺坐于莲台之上，一手托药钵，另一手结施愿印（注：Shuni Mudra 常译为“施愿印”或“与愿印”，象征给予众生愿望满足、消除病苦），周身洋溢着宁静与慈悲的光辉。
在金音寺，我们深切礼敬药师佛。我们致力于营造一个能让每个人连结药师佛疗愈愿力的环境，探索慈悲与智慧对生命的转化力量。欢迎大众前来药师坛城与禅修花园修持，以增进身心健康与正念觉知。药师佛修持法门包含禅定、观想及持诵其心咒，此咒音被认为蕴含强大的疗愈振动。通过实践这些法门，行者能开启自身本具的疗愈之力，并培养对他人的深切同理与关怀。
修持者可借由持诵药师佛心咒、专注对治自身烦恼，并观想佛陀形相，以此感通药师佛的加持。观想修持亦可用于缓解身心病痛——可在需要疗愈的身体或心灵部位，观想一尊微小的药师佛安住其中。此修持既可为自己，亦可为他人进行，皆能领受药师佛的殊胜加持。
Five Tathāgatas
The Five Tathāgatas (五方佛), also known as the Five Dhyani Buddhas, are a central concept in Vajrayana Buddhism. Each Tathāgata represents a different aspect of enlightened consciousness and serves as a meditation focus for practitioners. Here are the five Tathāgatas:
Vairocana: Vairocana, the central and primary Tathāgata, represents the wisdom of the Dharmadhatu (the realm of truth). He embodies the all-pervading nature of ultimate reality and the realization of emptiness.
Akshobhya: Akshobhya, also known as “Immovable,” represents the transformation of anger and aggression into mirror-like wisdom. He is associated with the purification of negative emotions and the cultivation of inner stability and equanimity.
Ratnasambhava: Ratnasambhava embodies generosity, abundance, and the transmutation of pride into the wisdom of equanimity. He represents the richness and preciousness of all phenomena.
Amitabha: Amitabha, also known as “Infinite Light,” is associated with the transformation of desire and attachment into discriminating wisdom. He symbolizes compassion, pure perception, and the aspiration to be reborn in his Pure Land.
Amoghasiddhi: Amoghasiddhi represents the transformation of jealousy and envy into all-accompanying wisdom. He embodies fearlessness, decisive action, and the ability to accomplish positive actions without obstacles.
The practice of meditating on the Five Tathāgatas allows practitioners to cultivate these qualities within themselves, purify negative mental states, and attain realization of the nature of mind. Together, the Five Tathāgatas symbolize the totality of enlightened qualities and provide a comprehensive framework for spiritual development in Vajrayana Buddhism.
月光明菩薩
在常见的造像与图像中，药师佛常由两位主要胁侍菩萨伴随——月光菩萨（Chandraprabha） 与日光菩萨（Sūryaprabha）。
据《药师琉璃光如来本愿功德经》（《大正藏》第十四册，No. 450）所载，药师佛的佛国净土如是庄严：其地以琉璃铺就，以金绳界道，城阙、楼阁、宫殿、亭台，乃至栏楯、窗牖、罗网，皆由七宝所成。此土功德庄严，与西方阿弥陀佛净土无异。净土之中有无量寿菩萨（日光菩萨）与无量光菩萨（月光菩萨）二位大菩萨安住，于无量菩萨众中为之上首，将次第绍继药师佛位，护持如来正法藏。
月光菩萨，其名意为“皎月光明”，象征觉悟心识的纯净与光明。在绘画中，月光菩萨通常呈现银白辉耀之身相，代表明月柔和的清辉。他 embody（体现）慈悲与疗愈的安宁特质，常被描绘立于药师佛左侧。信众通过对月光菩萨的祈请与修持，可寻求灵性成长的启示与加持护佑。
月光菩萨圣诞日与中秋佳节同为农历八月十五，正值月圆光明遍照之时。
日光明菩薩
日光菩萨（Sūryaprabha）之名，由梵语“Sūrya”（意为“太阳”）与“prabha”（意为“光明”或“光辉”）结合而成。这一名号体现了日光菩萨与破暗显明、照破无明的智慧光明之关联。
日光菩萨与月光菩萨（Chandraprabha）的造像形态极为相似。日光菩萨常被塑造或安奉于药师佛的右侧。在艺术表现中，日光菩萨通身常现灿烂的金色，既象征太阳的光明，也代表智慧之辉光，以及这智慧为寻求疗愈与心灵觉醒者所带来的转化力量。
作为药师佛的胁侍，日光菩萨的角色突显了智慧在疗愈与心灵健康中的重要性。作为智慧的化身，他象征着理解、洞察与明辨所带来的转化之力。
日光菩萨与月光菩萨同为药师佛的左右胁侍，共同象征智慧与慈悲这两种特质——这两者正是医药与疗愈实践中不可或缺的根本。他们的存在，彰显了光明（无论是实际的光明还是隐喻的智慧之光）驱散黑暗、缓解苦难的力量。他们的示现也强调了疗愈的整体性，提醒我们：心灵安康与身体健康本就不可分割。

Acalanātha (不動明王) is a deity revered in Vajrayana Buddhism. He is considered a wrathful manifestation of either Vairocana, the buddha Akṣobhya, or the bodhisattva Mañjuśrī.

Yamāntaka
Yamāntaka (大威德明王), also known as Vajrabhairava, is a fierce and wrathful deity in Vajrayana Buddhism. The name “Yamāntaka” combines “Yama,” the lord of death in Hindu and Buddhist mythology, and “antaka,” meaning “destroyer” or “conqueror.” He is thus known as the “Destroyer of Death” and for his power to conquer death, evil and ignorance.

He is believed to possess the power to dispel ignorance, grand insight, and protect against spiritual disturbances.

Moreover, dragons are considered guardians of esoteric knowledge and hidden teachings. Their presence signifies the preservation and protection of sacred wisdom. With the dragon under his feet, Vajrahāsa embodies the mastery of these teachings and their transformative power. Last but not least, dragons are often seen as creatures of metamorphosis and change.
