Who is Medicine Buddha?
Bhaisajyaguru, widely known as the Medicine Buddha or the Healing Buddha, embodies the healing aspect of the enlightened mind. Worshipped for his ability to alleviate suffering, he offers not only physical and mental healing but also liberation from the spiritual afflictions of ignorance, desire, and hatred.
Seated in a meditative posture, he holds a bowl of healing nectar in his left hand and the myrobalan plant, a symbol of universal medicine, in his right. In Tibetan Buddhism, the Medicine Buddha is believed to radiate deep-blue healing light and is revered as a powerful deity for both spiritual protection and miraculous recovery.
Finishing: Stone Setting
The statue is exquisitely adorned with semi-precious stones such as turquoise, coral, and lapis lazuli. These stones are carefully inlaid by hand, adding vibrant color and sacred energy to the piece. The unique patterns of the stones, combined with the glowing gold surface, create a stunning and uplifting visual experience, making it a focal point for any altar or meditation space.
Gold Painted Face – A Sacred Expression
The gold-painted face enhances the divine features of the Medicine Buddha, particularly the eyes and lips, which are central to conveying compassion and serenity. This sacred ritual of painting the face is a spiritual tradition in Himalayan Buddhism, breathing life, presence, and purity into the statue. Every brushstroke reflects the artisan’s devotion and respect for the sacred iconography.
Full Fire Gold Plating – Traditional Gilding Mastery
Crafted with the fire gold plating method (mercury gilding), this statue is finished with an authentic, radiant gold coating. This technique, known for its depth, durability, and spiritual richness, has been used in Nepal for centuries. Unlike modern electroplating, fire gilding infuses the statue with a timeless, spiritually resonant glow that deepens its sanctity and value.
Created with the Lost-Wax Casting Method
Using the ancient lost-wax casting technique, the statue is handcrafted with incredible detail and precision. This time-honored process begins with a wax model and ends with a unique, high-quality copper sculpture that reflects both traditional craftsmanship and spiritual intention. The result is a piece that feels alive with meaning and artistic excellence.
