Note:
There are a lot of untrue information about BIROL Upper Buddha in the scriptures and articles about Buddhism on the internet. For example:
1. BIROL Buddha was a Sri Lankan where Sanskrit was not used, so he didn’t have Sanskrit name. Materials writing that his Sanskrit name is Bhaiṣajyaguru are not correct. He instructed that he had no Sanskrit name. This is only the name that Northern Buddhism attributed to him.
2. Mentioning that BIROL Buddha had 12 pledges when cultivating. He said it is not true.
3. Mentioning that there are 7 Medicine Buddhas, even with Sanskrit names. He said that he is the only Medicine Buddha. So the Medicine Buddha Sutra (Bhaiṣajya-guru-vaiḍūrya-prabhā-rāja Sūtra) from China was the product of ancient Chinese people.
4. Mentioning that there are 12 Heavenly Generals. He said there are no such men. Therefore, he said the image of worshiping of Medicine Buddha Trinity as below (from the internet) with 12 Heavenly Generals is not right worshipping.
5. Mentioning that there are two Bodhisattvas keeping the Treasure of Medicine Buddha’s Right Dharma, but he said there is no such treasure.
6. Mentioning that Shakyamuni- LANTIG- Buddha taught about BIROL Buddha at Vaisali citadel for 36,000 Bodhisattva disciples that: reciting BIROL Buddha's name will cure diseases. Shakyamuni Buddha said that there is no such thing.
7. Mentioning about many Mantras of BIROL Buddha. But he said he has no Mantra.
8. etc.
So it can be said that many materials on the internet and Buddhism scriptures write untruthful things about BIROL Buddha. BIROL Buddha said it was fabricated with malicious intent, distorting the truth about him, showing the superstition in Northern Buddhism since thousands of years ago.
