Medicine Buddha or the Healing Buddha is acknowledged as Bhaiajyaguru, indicating that he is the master of medicines and ‘doctor of souls and bodies.’ Identical to Buddha Śa-kya-muni, he has the ushnisa on the top of his head exemplifying his spiritual power, is clad in a monastic robe and is seated in Padmasana. Bhaiajyaguru is symbolic of the healing facet of Buddha Śa-kya-muni in Mahayana Buddhism. Medicine Buddha is always portrayed in a profound lapis lazuli blue, with his left hand positioned in the mediation mudra holding a medicine bowl, while his right hand is placed on the right knee clasping a stem or fruit of the myrobalan plant (a medicinal plant found in India).
