Medicine Buddha - 28 in x 51 in

The Medicine Buddha (Sangye Menla), called the Supreme Healer, embodies the highest aspect of healing energy. When the Bodhisattva Baisajyaguru attained enlightenment he became the Buddha of the eastern realm "Pure Lapis Lazuli Light." Anyone wishing to be healed (physically or mentally) or to heal others can meditate on the Medicine Buddha and recite the Medicine Buddha Sutra with his mantra:

TATYATA OM BEKANDZE BEKANDZE MAHA BEKANDZE RAZA SAMUGATE SOHA

According to the teachings of Buddha Shakyamuni, the healing energy of all the Buddhas is embodied in Medicine Buddha, the Supreme Healer. The Medicine Buddha mantra is held to be extremely powerful for healing physical illnesses and for the purification of negative karma.  The Medicine Buddha is depicted here wearing the 3 robes of a Buddhist Monk, holding a lapis-colored bowl of medicinal nectar and herbs in his left hand and the right hand resting on his right knee in the gesture of fearlessness, holding the stem of the medicinal Aruna fruit (Myrobalan).

This hand-painted thangka has a soft color palette, good shading, with beautiful landscaping and clouds. There is a fair amount of ornamentation in the robes, throne and foliage.
