A Medicine Buddha thangka is a vibrant and intricate Tibetan Buddhist painting depicting the Medicine Buddha, known as Bhaishajyaguru, who symbolizes healing and compassion. The central figure is typically shown seated in meditation on a lotus throne, with his right hand extended in a gesture of giving, holding a stem of the myrobalan plant, and his left hand holding a bowl of medicinal nectar. The surrounding elements often include other healing deities, medicinal plants, and auspicious symbols, all rendered in rich detail and color. This thangka serves as a focus for meditation, prayer, and healing practices, highlighting the therapeutic and spiritual dimensions of Tibetan Buddhism.
