Gold Painted Medicine or Blue Buddha
About Our Thangka
Introducing our Gold Painted Medicine Buddha Thangka, a stunning portrayal of healing and compassion. At the center of this exquisite thangka sits the Medicine Buddha, also known as the Bhaisajyaguru, in a seated posture of deep meditation. His left-hand rests in his lap holding a bowl of healing nectar, while his right hand is extended in the gesture of granting protection and dispelling fear. The Medicine Buddha embodies the supreme healing qualities of enlightenment, offering solace and relief from physical, mental, and spiritual ailments to all sentient beings.
Surrounding the Medicine Buddha are two additional figures: on the bottom left and right, stand the Medicine Buddha's two main disciples, Suryaprabha and Chandraprabha, representing the illuminating qualities of the sun and the moon. Two Buddhas and Bodhisattvas grace the upper part of the thangka.
What sets this thangka apart is the meticulous application of 24K gold paint, adding a luminous brilliance to the artwork. The use of gold enhances the sacredness and vibrancy of the thangka, illuminating the divine presence of the Medicine Buddha and his entourage.
The Gold Painted Medicine Buddha Thangka serves as a potent focal point for healing and meditation practices. Display it prominently in your healing space, meditation room, or altar to invoke the healing energies of the Medicine Buddha and his retinue. Meditating upon the image of the Medicine Buddha can bring about physical healing, mental clarity, and spiritual well-being, while also fostering a sense of inner peace and serenity.

Introduction To The Medicine Buddha:
Medicine Buddha or the healing Buddha is said to dispense spiritual medicine when properly worshipped. It is even believed that an efficacious cure may be accomplished by merely touching the image. His right hand holds a branch of the myrobalan plant and it is in the varadamudra posture or the giving gesture. His left hand is on his lap, holding a lapis lazuli pindapatra or a container containing medicines.
The Buddha has long- lobed ears and curly hair. He wears a monastic robe and is seated cross-legged. The blue or lapis lazuli color of the body symbolizes that he accepts all the diseases and sicknesses of all suffering beings himself. The plant myrobalan represents medicine, which heals all the sicknesses of sentient beings.
How does Thangka benefit us?
It goes without saying that every detail of a painting has a symbolic meaning. Regardless of your religious affiliation, a thangka can help you on your path to enlightenment, whether you practice Buddhism or have other religious convictions. Thangkas are paintings that depict deities with various iconographic elements and symbolism that encourage meditation on the teachings of the god they depict. Any thangka is intended to aid in the removal of the film of ignorance, which is a significant barrier to the road to enlightenment. The Thangka is revered as a holy item. They promote positivity, spread Buddhism's teachings, bring about peace, harmony, and oneness, and dispel any negative energy that may be there.
