Medicine Buddha Traditional Sculpture for Healing and Serenity
This Medicine Buddha Master of Healing Statue measures 12.6”/32cm in height and 9.8”/25cm at the base, weighing 3.67 kg. Handcrafted from a copper body, it is richly finished with 24K gold gilding, detailed acrylic painting, and carefully placed gemstones. The sculpture presents a serene seated figure upon an intricately carved lotus pedestal, with a peaceful expression, gently lowered gaze, elongated earlobes, and finely textured ushnisha. The monastic robe is carefully rendered with flowing folds and detailed borders, while the radiant gilding highlights the facial features, hands, robe patterns, lotus petals, and ornamental details. Colorful gemstone accents enrich the decorative elements, while acrylic painting adds depth and definition to the sacred form. The refined carving, luminous finish, and traditional Himalayan Buddhist craftsmanship make this statue well suited for a Buddhist altar, meditation space, healing environment, Dharma center, monastery, or sacred collection.
This sacred depiction portrays Medicine Buddha, also known as Bhaishajyaguru, who is traditionally revered as the Buddha associated with healing, purification, and the alleviation of suffering. He is seated in a meditative posture with his left hand resting in the dhyana mudra at his lap, holding the medicine bowl containing the symbolic healing nectar. The bowl represents the Dharma as a remedy for suffering and the wisdom that addresses the deeper causes of affliction. His right hand is lowered in the varada mudra, the gesture of generosity and compassionate giving, and traditionally holds the stem of the medicinal arura or myrobalan plant, an important attribute of Medicine Buddha. His calm expression reflects tranquility and compassionate awareness, while his simple monastic robes represent discipline, renunciation, and dedicated spiritual practice. The ushnisha signifies awakened wisdom, while the lotus pedestal represents purity and the ability to rise above suffering and obscuration. Together, these elements express the Buddhist understanding of healing through compassion, wisdom, purification, mindful practice, and freedom from the causes of suffering.
