The Medicine Buddha, Bhaisajyaguru, cast in bronze with a warm gold finish and seated on a lotus base. His right hand rests on his knee, palm open, holding a sprig of the healing myrobalan plant; his left hand cradles the bowl of medicine in his lap. Palm-sized, with the robe borders picked out in fine relief.

Meaning & Intention

The Medicine Buddha vowed to heal the sickness of body and mind. In Tibetan painting he is deep blue, the color of lapis, but small gold statues like this one are made for altars and for traveling.

His two hands tell the whole story. The right hand, open on the knee, offers a stem of myrobalan, the fruit at the heart of Himalayan medicine. The left holds the bowl that receives whatever is given. Healing, the image says, is both offering and acceptance.

Keep him where you take your morning tea or your medicine.

Essence & Elements

Intention: Healing, wellbeing, calm

Symbol: Myrobalan sprig, medicine bowl

Chakra connection: Heart, throat

Ideal for: A bedside, a wellness room, a healer's or therapist's desk, or a get-well gift

Suggested mantra: Tayata Om Bekandze Bekandze Maha Bekandze Radza Samudgate Soha

Questions & Guidance

Who is the Medicine Buddha?

Bhaisajyaguru, the Buddha of healing. Tibetan Buddhists recite his mantra for the sick and for their own wellbeing, and his image is kept in clinics, homes and monasteries across the Himalaya.

What is he holding?

A stem of myrobalan in the right hand, the fruit that anchors Tibetan medicine, and a bowl of healing nectar in the left. Giving and receiving, in one figure.

Where should I place it?

Somewhere you pass every day: a bedside, a kitchen shelf where medicines are kept, a desk. Traditionally the statue sits at or above eye level when you are seated.

Too big

The boxes were much bigger than I thought they would be and seemed to be lacking in the quality I'm used to seeing in your products. I have returned both boxes via UPS and am awaiting my refund.

Understated design, well made

I wanted a simple reminder to take a moment to breathe throughout the day. This ring tells me to do just that. It's solid stainless steel, so it's durable. The embossing (engraving?) is clear and consistent from one letter to the next.
