Temples 33, 34, 35 to Yakushi Nyorai, the Buddha of Healing and Medicine.
MANTRA IN JAPANESE
おん ころころ せんだり まとうぎ そわか
On Korokoro Sendari Matōgi Sowaka
Simplified Trans.= Om. Heal Heal Hail to You
revering healing
respected Buddha tells all
fear not, I am here
kaeru hops slowly then sits
before my feet, waits quietly
fear not, I am here
I chant, Om, Heal Heal (breath, then)
Hail to you. (repeat...)

Note:
kaeru = frog, return in Japanese
Also is a lucky symbol and related to travelers
kaeru is my companion guide on this journey
We are both ...female :)
"I am here" must be the most comforting--and healing--words of all.
