Thangkas are meticulously hand-painted on cotton canvas using natural stone colors, gold, and organic pigments. The creation of a single thangka painting can span from one month to several years, reflecting the meticulous attention given to ensuring its high quality.
This Thangka depicts Buddha Bhaisajyaguru, also known as the Medicine Buddha, seated in a cross-legged position on a lotus throne. The most notable characteristic of Bhaisajyaguru is his deep blue color, resembling lapis lazuli, a rare and pure stone. Lapis lazuli is believed to have healing and strengthening properties for those who possess it. In his right hands, Bhaisajyaguru holds a myrobalan branch, an important ingredient in Tibetan medicines. In his left hand, he holds a bowl containing a nectar that has three forms, which can cure diseases, counteract aging, and bring clarity to the mind.
By meditating in front of the Medicine Buddha thangka, individuals can experience relief from physical and mental stress. It can also enhance their healing abilities, benefiting both themselves and others. Moreover, the practice can assist in overcoming spiritual ailments such as attachment, hatred, and ignorance.
