The thangka looks even more beautiful in person. The thangka arrived earlier than I expected and it was packaged very well. The seller answered all my questions promptly and kept me up to date with shipping details ect. I highly recommend buying from this seller and I look forward to purchasing paintings from them in the future. Thank you RitualThanka!

Medicine buddha or the healing buddha is said to dispense spiritual medicine when properly worshipped. It is even believed that an efficacious cure may be accomplished by merely touching the image. His right-hand holds a branch of myrobalan plant and it is in the varadamudra posture or the giving gesture. His left hand is on his lap, holding a lapis lazuli pindapatra or a container containing medicines.
The Buddha has long- lobed ears and curly hair. He wears a monastic robe and is seated cross-legged. The blue or lapis lazuli color of the body symbolizes that he accepts all the diseases and sickness of all suffering beings himself. The plant myrobalan represents the medicine, which heals all the sicknesses of sentient beings.
According to the ancient Medical sutra or text, he made 12 great vows before his attainment of Buddhahood. The important vows are as follows :
It is said that the land of Buddha Bhaisajya is entirely pure and is paved with lapis lazuli. The cities, buildings, and palaces are made of seven jewels. In that land the sentient beings do no commit any evil deeds; hence there is no lower realm.
In the Tibetan medical tradition, Medicine Buddha is said to be the source of all medical treatises. This Buddha is invoked for the elimination of disasters and sickness of all kinds.
