Medicine Buddha Statues : This is a cast copper and brass statue of the Medicine Buddha. The Medicine Buddha holds a blooming myrobalan plant in his left hand, and his right hand is in the mudra (or gesture) of bestowing a gift. Tibetan Buddhists believe that the knowledge of the myrobalan plant was a gift from the Buddha, as it can help heal physical and mental diseases. They liken its ability to heal and protect to that of the Dharma, or teachings of the Buddha.
In this statue the left hand is in the posture of meditation (that is, resting palm up on the lap), and holds a bowl of medicine. Most Mahayana schools of Buddhism believe that the knowledge of medicine was given to man from the Buddha. The right hand with the palm facing outward signifies that Buddha is bestowing a gift. Sometimes this gift is physical (such as medicine), sometimes it is spiritual (such as a blessing or knowledge).
