Medicine Buddha Thangka Painting
Thangka is a visual representation of Tibetan Buddhist teachings — a handpainted painting or textile art made on cotton or silk featuring intricate design. These pieces are religious icons, meditation aids or teaching tools employed in Tibetan Buddhism and other Himalayan Buddhist traditions, typically depicting Buddhas, bodhisattvas, deities, mandalas or religious stories.
Medicine Buddha Thangka is an artwork depicting Bhaisajyaguru, commonly known as the Medicine Buddha. This spiritual figure in Mahayana Buddhism has strong ties to healing and medical care, and people hang paintings of the Medicine Buddha to gain blessings related to physical and spiritual well-being. The Medicine Buddha has a blue color symbolizing its healing energy. He is seen in the traditional vajra posture sitting on a lotus throne, with his right hand in the Varada Mudra and his left hand holding a medicine bowl, offering health and peace. Representing purity, enlightenment and the transcendence of suffering, Thangka paintings honoring the Medicine Buddha are treasured by spiritualists. These depictions of the deity are an aid to meditation and devotion, as well as a reminder of its power to relieve suffering and impart luck.
