Medicine Buddha, also known as Bhaisayaguru in Sanskrit, is prominently featured in the Medicine Buddha sutra. He is characterized as the Buddha who made 12 profound vows following his Enlightenment. Medicine Buddha is typically depicted in a seated posture known as Dhyana Asana.
In this seated position, Medicine Buddha is comfortably seated on a lotus petal pedestal, with his legs crossed and the soles of both feet facing upwards. He cradles a jar of medicine in his left hand, which is placed gently in his lap with the palm facing upward, symbolizing a state of meditative serenity. His right-hand holds the stem of the Aruna fruit or Myrobalan, positioned between his thumb and forefinger, resting on his right knee. It is believed that this fruit represents the essence of all the finest medicines in the world.
