In Mahayana Buddhism, Medicine Buddha is the Buddha of healing and medicine. The sculpture in this image is gilt in golden honey. He sits in the traditional lotus pose, with the backs of both feet pointing upwards and his eyes closed, remembering the path to enlightenment to be reiterated to his followers. He is sitting in varada mudra, granting mudra while the thumb and index finger are holding the stem of the myrobalan plant which is gilded in a medallion.
Buddhists repeated medicine Buddha’s mantra and name to overcome mental, bodily and spiritual affliction. During his road to enlightenment, he took 12 major vows and was accompanied by two Bodhisattvas in the realm of Viduryanirbhasa, each representing the light of the sun (Suryaprabha) and the light of the moon (Candraprabha).
