MEDICINE BUDDHA
ABOUT MEDICINE BUDDHA
Medicine Buddha or the Healing Buddha is acknowledged as Bhaiajyaguru, indicating that he is the master of medicines and 'doctor of souls and bodies.' Identical to Buddha Sa-kya-muni, he has the ushnisha on the top of his head exemplifying his spiritual power, is clad in a monastic robe and is seated in Padmasana. Bhaiajyaguru is symbolic of the healing facet of Buddha Sa-kya-muni in Mahayana Buddhism. Medicine Buddha is portrayed in a profound lapis lazuli blue, with his left hand positioned in the mediation mudra holding a medicine bowl, while his right hand is placed on the right knee clasping a stem or fruit of the myrobalan plant (a medicinal plant found in India).
