“tayatha om bekandze bekandze maha bekandze radza samudgate soha.”
"To the Bhagawan, whose name, when just heard, dispels the suffering of the lower realms."
Dispeller of sickness and the three poisons
"I bow to Medicine Buddha Lapis Light."
In the lines written above, the Fifth Dalai Lama discusses the role of Medicine Buddha. He prostrates to the deity's limitless abilities to deliver humanity from diverse ailments and life-threatening situations. Medicine Buddha, as the name implies, relates Buddhas' ability to patronise health sciences. This magnificent Brass Statue depicts the Medicine Buddha or Myrobalan Buddha sitting in the Ashirwad Mudra with one hand in the blessing posture and the other hand holding the Bhaisajya-Patra (elixir bowl).
The statue is embellished with inlay work, and the Uttari on his body is painted in a vibrant green to represent his connection with natural elements for healing. His dhoti is embellished with semi-precious stones, giving the statue a glossy aspect of high-end zardozi craftsmanship. His earlobes are adorned with lotus buds, a flower known for its medical benefits such as cancer cell destruction and blood sugar reduction. This statue is a remarkable example of competent artistry and very well represents the Medicine Buddha's traits of the destruction of diseases and protector from toxins, as well as supplier of escape from the Samsaric suffering. Keeping this statue in your house or place of worship will ensure his blessings since he defends all with equal compassion.
