Introduction to Medicine Buddha Thangka
Medicine buddha or the healing buddha is said to dispense spiritual medicine when properly worshipped. It is even believed that an efficacious cure may be accomplished by merely touching the image. His right-hand holds a branch of the myrobalan plant in the varadamudra posture or the giving gesture. His left hand is on his lap, holding a lapis lazuli pindapatra or a container containing medicines.
The Buddha has long-lobed ears and curly hair. He wears a monastic robe and is seated cross-legged. The blue or lapis lazuli color of the body symbolizes that he accepts all the diseases and sicknesses of all suffering beings. The plant myrobalan represents medicine, which heals all the sicknesses of sentient beings.
Medicine Buddha is said to be the source of all medical treatises in the Tibetan medical tradition. This Buddha is invoked to eliminate disasters and sicknesses of all kinds.
