Description
Medicine Buddha Thangka
Medicine Buddha is, as the name implies, the Healing Buddha. According to the legend, he transformed himself into a radiant blue light Buddha at a large gathering of people and taught/transmitted the knowledge of healing and medicine. Thus, he is often depicted with blue skin or holding a blue medicine jar.
Medicine is typically depicted seated, wearing the three robes of a Buddhist monk, holding a lapis-colored jar of medicine nectar in his left hand and the right hand resting on his right knee, holding the steam of the Aruna fruit or Myrobalan. In the sutra, he is also described by his aura of lapis lazuli-colored light.
