Traditional Zen Medicine Buddha Sculpture for Bhaisajyaguru Mantra
We are Nepali artisans who used methods handed down to us through the years to hand-carve this exquisite Medicine Buddha Sculpture for Bhaisajyaguru Mantra. The statue's copper body has been expertly etched to reveal its distinctive design patterns. The god is seen sitting on a moon-shaped lotus seat and has a happy countenance. In his right hand, he is holding a myrobalan plant, and in his left, he is holding an alms bowl. We used a hammer and chisels to cut intricate design patterns into the robe manually. The throne where the lord sits makes the whole statue even more supreme and divine.

His teachings aim to free sentient beings from sickness, pain, anguish, and unhappiness while emphasizing the need for prosperity and enjoyment in this life. Many meditators in the Mahayana tradition admire his healing abilities. He is frequently shown with a blue (lapis lazuli) body and hands carrying an alms bowl and medical herbs.
