我朋友看了洪启崧居士的书告诉我，
念消灾延寿药师佛是求世间的福报，念药师琉璃光如来是求世出的智慧。

我看了药师经，没有看到这种说法，可是一般都会写消灾延寿药师佛。
到底药师佛的名号要怎麽念才是正确的?

  就一直念就很正确了, 可能是药师经中有写到
药师佛的大愿及功德, 药师佛是有消灾延寿的愿
望与功德.

南无药师佛

弘一法师在药师法门的开示说道..
佛徳无量无边..只取消灾延寿概括佛徳略有不宜...
宜照经典所记载的: 南无药师琉璃光如来 ^^

经中屡云闻名持名因其法最为简易其所获之益亦最为广大也。今人持名者皆曰『消
灾延寿药师佛』似未尽善，佛名惟举「药师」二字未能具足。佛德惟举「消灾延
寿」四字亦多所缺略，故须依据经文而曰『药师琉璃光如来』斯为最妥善矣。

Original Sanskrit words:
NAMO BHĀGAVATE BHAISHAJYA-GURU-VAIDURYA-PRABHA-RĀJĀYA

bhagavan -world respected
bha'sha'ja - eliminate pain 消
guru - spiritual master 师
vaidurya - crystal 琉璃
pra'bha - light 光
ra'ja - king

Sorry about the phonetic notation of the 'original' Sanskrit version of the
mantra, I repeat:

Namo Bhagavate Bhaishayja-guru-vaidurya-prabha-rajaya, tathagataya, arhate, samyak-
sambuddhaya

Give Praise to the Honourable: Eliminate pian-teacher-lipis-light-king, the
Perfect One (here he comes & goes), The perfected disciple (deserve offering, kill
thief), Perfectly Self-Awakened One (perfect status, perfect enlightenment)!

Also;
Tadyatha: Om! Bhaishayje, Bhaishayje, mahabhaishayje, raja samuga'te svaha!

Like this: "Auspicious one (oneness with)! Eliminating pain, eliminating pain,
great eliminating pain, the King (of physician) he who has come forth! So be it
(auspiciously fulfilled, All hail)!

'bhaishayja' is a Sanskrit verb also used as his name(proper noun), 'Medicine' is
the name used in Sinoyana(Chinese) tradition because he is referred as the
the "King & teacher of physicians".
