Painted Ceramic Medicine Buddha Statue

Medicine Buddha is revered as the most powerful blessing for healing, dispelling sickness and for awakening inner healing. His body is blue, left hand is in the meditation mudra, and holds a begging bowl full of healing medicine. His other hand is also outstretched offering help and healing. Hanging this prayer flag is very beneficial as placing this in your home or garden will allow the healing mantras on the flags to be sent out and spread peace, this is particularly beneficial as a gift item to someone who is sick. "Om Bhaisajya Bhaisajya Maha Bhaisajya Rajaya Samudgate Svaha" is the mantra of the Medicine Buddha.  If one recites this mantra, one can eliminate the sickness of body and gain a long life.

The purpose of statues is to meditate upon or be inspired by the meaning behind the statue. Usually a Buddha is simply a representation of an idea like compassion, selfishness or wisdom and therefore praying upon the Buddha that represents that idea it serves as a reminder. Also it is believed that simply being around the Buddha statue it brings a aura of positive energy and inner peace.
