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 the 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 sicknesses 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 he attained Buddhahood. The important vows are as follows :
to eliminate sickness from all living beings and
Make them feel easy and happy 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 not 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.
