Tibetan doctors rely on Medicine Buddha for their healings. Regular practice with the Medicine Buddha also empowers one to heal others. In China and Japan, Medicine Buddha is a refuge in times of illness. Around the world, literally millions call out the name or mantra of Bhaisajyaguru (भैषज्यगुरु). It is even written in the sutras that if you speak the name of the Medicine Buddha in the ears of a dying animal or human they will be ensured good rebirth regardless of their past karma. No wonder the Medicine Buddha is so popular.
In times of pain, sickness, or stress, my first thought of “remedy” is quiet meditation with the most sacred Medicine Buddha mantra.

This Thangka features Buddha Bhaisajyaguru, known as the master of remedies or Medicine Buddha, sitting cross legged on a lotus throne.
The most distinctive feature of Bhaisajyaguru is his deep blue color.
The tone of the blue is lapis lazuli: the beautiful stone used to symbolize rarity and purity and it is said to have a curative or strengthening effect on those who wear it.
In his right hands he holds a myrobalan branch, important compound of several Tibetan medicines.
In his left hand a bowl containing three forms of a nectar to cures disease, counteracts aging and illuminates the mind.
Meditating in front of the Medicine Buddha thangka can help to alleviate physical and mental stress, increase healing powers both for oneself and others but also to overcome spiritual sickness, attachment, hatred and ignorance.http://traditionalartofnepal.com
