Hand-Painted Medicine Buddha Thangka, 24K Gold Tibetan Healing Art

The Medicine Buddha, or Bhaisajyaguru, is the Buddha of Healing. Meditating on the Medicine Buddha is considered a powerful method for enhancing healing, enabling practitioners to alleviate their own suffering and that of others. Through his boundless compassion and generosity, Bhaisajyaguru helps sincere seekers overcome physical illness and infirmity. But even more importantly, the Buddha is the skillful doctor who heals the significant disease afflicting all sentient beings. By providing the Dharma as a profound antidote to the poisons of attachment, hatred, and ignorance, he lifts the veil of delusion and points the way to freedom.

The Buddha is depicted with his right hand extended downward, palm open, with thumb and index finger touching. This posture is known as Varada Mudra or the gesture of granting wishes. This mudra symbolizes Bhaisajyaguru’s kindness, charity, and compassion toward all beings. On the same hand, he lightly grasps a sprig of the Myrobalan plant, an essential healing herb in Ayurvedic medicine. It is believed that this plant cannot only heal the body but also free one from the inner sicknesses of attachment, hatred, and ignorance. His left hand rests in his lap, palm upward, in the meditation (Dhyana) mudra, symbolizing the eradication of all sickness and suffering through the realization of absolute truth. On the same hand, he holds the traditional begging bowl of an ordained Buddhist monk. The bowl contains sacred medicinal nectar that cures all ills and hindrances.

Noble One, you should think of yourself as someone who is sick,
Of the Dharma as the remedy
Of the Buddha as a skillful doctor
And of your diligent practice as the way to recovery
