ASIAN MYTHOLOGY
HEALTH - HEALING BUDDHA
The Healing Buddha (Bhaisajyaguru), also known as the Medicine Buddha, holds a special significance in Buddhist tradition. He is an important figure in Mahayana Buddhism and is particularly
revered in Tibetan and East Asian practices.
Bhaisajyaguru is venerated as the Buddha of Healing, who can cure diseases and alleviate suffering. His name means "Master of Healing" or "Master of Medicine." He is often invoked to
heal both physical and mental illnesses.
The Healing Buddha is often depicted with blue skin, symbolizing his healing energy and wisdom. His meditative pose radiates serenity and peace. In his left hand, he holds a healing Myrobalan fruit, and in his right hand, he holds a begging bowl filled with healing nectar.
The Healing Buddha made twelve great vows to alleviate the sufferings of sentient beings and bring them healing. These include healing illnesses, achieving spiritual purity, and restoring physical health. He also represents the healing of the mind, helping to transform negative thoughts and emotions that cause mental illness. Through meditation and prayers to the Healing Buddha, devotees can attain spiritual
clarity and inner peace.
The gemstones in the bracelet symbolize the qualities of Bhaisajyaguru. Lapis Lazuli represents the blue color and healing wisdom, promoting mental clarity and inner calm. Orange Calcite stands for joy and positive energy, reflecting the life force of the Healing Buddha. Aventurine symbolizes luck and optimism, enhancing the Buddha's healing and renewing energy. Peace Agate promotes emotional balance and spiritual healing, akin to Bhaisajyaguru's practices. Red Agate stands for strength and protection, necessary for enabling healing and warding off negative energies.
Thus, the Healing Buddha is a symbol of comprehensive healing and spiritual renewal, which is enhanced by the combination of selected gemstones in the bracelet. The bracelet reminds you that you have the power to bring healing and peace into your life, supported by the symbolism of the g
emstones and the Healing Buddha.
