In Buddhism, Medicine Buddha is highly revered, as he is considered the Buddha of healing and medicine. It is believed that he made twelve vows so that he could ease out the physical, mental and spiritual sufferings of his followers.
In Tibetan Buddhism, the practice of chanting the Medicine Buddha mantra in front of the Medicine Buddha statue increases the healing powers and negates the negativity from the surroundings.
Exotic India brings forth exquisite Tibetan Buddhist Medicine Buddha statue of brass with superfine inlay work. Lord Buddha is seated in a lotus position (Padmasana or Dhyana asana).
He holds a jar of medicine in his left hand resting comfortably in his lap while in his right hand he holds the stem of Aruna fruit or Myrobalan with his thumb and forefinger placed on the right knee.
The monastic green robe has a decorative inlay work of brass in combination with red, blue, and green stones. The golden color of the chest, face, and feet complements the vivid colors of the robe. If we see carefully we will find that the edges of the robe are lined with red stone and a trail of thin gold piping around it lends an extra charm.
The artesian has worked with great precision and accuracy, on the nose, eyes, eyebrows, lips, and elongated ears of the statue. The extended portion of the robe gracefully lies around the folded legs. The brass sculpture with intricate inlay work along with colourful stones exhibits the magnificent skills of the artisan.
