Medicine Buddha (Bhaiṣajyaguru) Mini Thangka Pendant • Tibet Hand-Painted • Natural Mineral Pigments (Coarse-Grade) • Vintage Silver Gawu Case • 3.5 × 4.5 cm

① Product Overview

This Tibet-crafted Mini Thangka Pendant presents Medicine Buddha (Bhaisajyaguru) as a portable devotional artwork. The image is fully hand-painted using coarse-grade natural mineral pigments, then presented in a vintage silver gawu-style case to protect the painting and highlight its traditional character.

Created for the Tibetan Coarse-Mineral Thangka Series, this piece emphasizes the grounded density and texture that mineral pigments are known for, offering a small-format thangka designed for long-term keeping and collection.

② Deity Introduction

Medicine Buddha, also known as Bhaisajyaguru (often honored as the Lapis Lazuli Light Buddha), is a revered Buddha figure in Mahayana and Vajrayana traditions. He symbolizes compassionate clarity and the illumination that dispels inner darkness, and is widely honored in devotional art and practice.

In many traditions, Medicine Buddha is also associated with an iconographic and devotional context known as the Eastern Three Saints, where he is venerated alongside attendants such as Sunlight and Moonlight Bodhisattvas.

③ Spiritual Meaning & Practice Logic

Medicine Buddha is traditionally associated with cultivating a steady, compassionate mind and strengthening one’s intention toward wholesome conduct and inner clarity. In Buddhist practice logic, “medicine” can be understood as support for addressing suffering at its roots—especially confusion and imbalance of mind—through aspiration, discipline, and consistent practice.

This pendant may be used as a respectful visual support for recitation, contemplation, and daily mindfulness, without making any promises of outcomes.

④ Combined Practice Logic (Double-Deity / Double-Sided Only)

Not applicable (single-sided by default).

⑤ Artistic Origin & Lineage

Made in Tibet, this miniature thangka follows disciplined devotional painting traditions—clear iconography, balanced composition, and controlled line work. The coarse-mineral pigment approach emphasizes a heavier, more grounded color body and a distinctive mineral texture, reflecting a material-led aesthetic rather than a printed surface.
