Medicine Buddha Thangka with brocade.

20x34 inches

Om Ah Hung blessing syllables on the back of the thangka are in Lansa script in Tibetan (a script only used to transliterate Sanskrit).

The Medicine Buddha practice is the heart of Tibetan Medicine. The tradition was brought to Tibet by the great Indian Buddhist master Shantarakshita (8th century) and was given to the Tibetan King Trisong Deutsan to promote health, prevent diseases, give protection against black magic and to stabilize the ecological system from natural disasters.

The altruistic practice of love and compassion, empowered by the initiation, develops into an instrument to remove pains caused by ignorance and disease.
