Medicine or Bhaisajyaguru in Tibetan Buddhism is a powerful deity whose existence is founded on the belief that treating a devotee's bodily and mental afflictions will enable them to continue on the path to enlightenment. This copper statue from Nepal, which uses the iconography of Crowned Buddha to highlight the spiritual beauty of Bhaisajyaguru, perfectly condenses the magnificent presence of Medicine Buddha. Medicine Buddha holds the healing plant and pot that appear to hover over his lotus blossom-like hands while sitting in Padmasana. The calm eyes and inward smile of Medicine Buddha, which gently awaken the heart, give the impression that his countenance is divinely animated.
