In Buddhism

Tibetan Buddhism (Vajrayana or tantric Buddhism)

: De Gruyter: Himalayan Anthropology: The Indo-Tibetan Interface

Guṭika (गुटि�) refers to “pills� (i.e., Ayurvedic substances that become pledged in the process of ū), according to William Stablein’s A Descriptive Analysis of the Content of Nepalese Buddhist Pujas as a Medical-Cultural System (with References to Tibetan Parallels).—T tshog shin (sacred tree) is also mentally visualized.—[Cf. Samayavastu].—Among the Tibetans the most popular pledged substances (samaya-vastu) that are given out for curing are ṭi첹, ril bu (Tibetan) [pills]. They are made from Ayurvedic substances that become pledged in the process of ū. The pill, being defined both as the union of body, speech, and mind, and as the sacred semen of the divinity, gives us a practical example of yogic medicine. In fact, the pill is an analog of the whole world in a refined state and is a symbol of what the medical-cultural system of the Vajrayāna Buddhists is all about.
