I purchased this image based on a single photograph, but was astonished when I unpacked it because it was so much more detailed than the picture showed. This is one of the most exceptional images of Black Mahakala I have seen in person. There are so many little details, such as the tiny colored crystals set in His jewelry and costume. I am completely satisfied and exhilarated with my purchase, and will definitely continue to purchase from this seller.

Original Hand painted Medicine Buddha Thangka
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 :
to eliminate sickness from all living beings and
Make them feel easy and happy in order to attain Buddhahood and
To liberate beings from disaster and calamities.
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.
