Product Overview
This 18K gold, double-sided, fully hand-painted Tibetan mini thangka pendant features Medicine Buddha (Bhaisajyaguru) on the front and a Healing Vessel on the reverse.
Medicine Buddha, formally known as Bhaisajyaguru Vaidurya Prabha Tathagata, is the presiding Buddha of the Eastern Pure Lapis Lazuli World, revered for his vows of compassion, clarity, and liberation from suffering. This pendant is hand-painted in the Rebgong (Regong / Amdo) thangka tradition and sealed in an 18K gold gau box with sapphire crystal lens, suitable for daily wear, travel, or personal devotional space.
Rather than a medical object, this piece is best understood as a religious and cultural artwork, symbolizing inner healing, wisdom, and peace of mind as taught in Buddhist tradition.
Front Image: Medicine Buddha (Bhaisajyaguru)
According to the Medicine Buddha Sutra (Bhaisajyaguru Vaidurya Prabha Purva Pranidhana Sutra), Medicine Buddha resides in the Pure Lapis Lazuli World far to the east of our realm. During his bodhisattva path, he made the renowned Twelve Great Vows, dedicating himself to relieving beings from suffering, ignorance, and fear.
Traditional Iconography
In this thangka, Medicine Buddha is depicted according to classical Tibetan canon:
-
Posture: Seated in full lotus on a lotus throne, representing stability and awakened awareness
-
Body Color: Deep blue, symbolizing the clarity and vastness of lapis lazuli, as well as unwavering compassion
-
Right Hand: Gesture of generosity and reassurance, holding the medicinal fruit haritaki
-
Left Hand: Meditative mudra, supporting a bowl that signifies spiritual nourishment
He is often accompanied in larger compositions by Sunlight Bodhisattva and Moonlight Bodhisattva, together known as the Medicine Buddha Triad, as well as the Twelve Heavenly Generals, reflecting the Twelve Vows.
Reverse Image: Healing Vessel (Medicine Container)
The reverse side features the Healing Vessel, a key symbolic attribute of Medicine Buddha.
In thangka art, this vessel:
-
Represents the nectar of wisdom and compassion
-
Symbolizes addressing suffering at its root—ignorance and imbalance
-
Emphasizes the Buddhist principle of “healing before illness”, or prevention through awareness
The vessel is not a literal medicine container, but a visual metaphor for clarity, purification, and inner harmony.
Meaning of the Double-Sided Design
Together, the two sides form a complete symbolic structure:
-
Medicine Buddha (Front): compassion, clarity, liberation from suffering
-
Healing Vessel (Back): purification, balance, sustained well-being
This pairing is traditionally appreciated by those seeking:
-
Peace of mind and emotional stability
-
Support in meditation or reflection
-
A symbolic focus on resilience and clarity during challenging periods
