The Medicine Buddha is depicted holding an alms bowl in which a healing portion is believed to be found. In his right hand, he carries a myrobalan plant, a medical herb that represents his capacity to heal physical and spiritual illnesses. His right arm has an exquisite carving of one of the eight auspicious symbols (Endless Knot). This symbolizes Samsara, the endless cycle of suffering within Tibetan Buddhism, which includes the chain of birth, death, and rebirth.

He is highly revered in all Buddhist traditions, but notably for his pledge to help beings overcome the mental and physical ailments that stand in the way of their spiritual practice. Menla Sangay is considered to be very effective for healing and for developing a compassionate heart since he embodies the ideal balance between spirituality and science in medicine.
