Medicine Buddha: A Symbol of Healing and Compassion
The Medicine Buddha (Bhaisajyaguru), also known as the Healing Buddha, is revered in Buddhism for his power to heal both physical and spiritual ailments. Devotees believe that merely touching his image or reciting his mantra can bring blessings of health and well-being.
In Tibetan Buddhist art, the Medicine Buddha is depicted with short, curly hair, wearing a monastic robe, and seated in a meditative posture. His:
- Right hand is extended in the charity mudra, holding a myrobalan fruit, a medicinal plant symbolizing healing.
- Left hand rests in his lap in the meditation mudra, holding a medicine bowl, representing spiritual and physical nourishment.
- He also features the Ushnisha (cranial bump) and Urna (a mark above the nose), both of which are symbols of enlightenment.
Traditional Color Finishing
This hand-painted Medicine Buddha statue follows traditional Buddhist iconography, ensuring authenticity and spiritual significance. The combination of gold and sacred hues enhances its divine presence, making it a perfect addition to altars, meditation spaces, or sacred collections.
Expert Craftsmanship: Ceramic Molding Process
This statue is meticulously crafted using the ceramic mold casting technique, a precise and durable alternative to traditional lost-wax or rubber molding methods. The process involves:
- Creating a detailed wax model of the sculpture.
- Coating the wax model with multiple layers of ceramic material to form a sturdy mold.
- Firing the mold in a kiln, which melts away the wax, leaving a detailed cavity.
- Pouring molten copper into the cavity, allowing it to take the exact form of the original model.
- Breaking the ceramic mold to reveal the final intricately designed metal statue.
This technique ensures a highly detailed, durable, and beautifully finished miniature Medicine Buddha statue that captures the essence of Buddhist artistry.
