Bronze Tibetan Medicine Buddha

This finely cast Tibetan bronze Medicine Buddha is depicted seated dhyana asana on lotus throne, adorned with an elaborate crown, jewelry, and flowing celestial ribbons. The dark bronze surface has developed a beautiful aged patina, lending the sculpture a quiet sense of history and spiritual presence. Intricate detailing throughout the figure and lotus-form pedestal reflects the skill of its maker. The face with refined depiction and a smile, brings forth peace and assurance. Held carefully in the Buddha’s hands is a kalasha (kalasa), a sacred ritual vessel associated with healing and longevity. In Tibetan Buddhist tradition, such a vessel contains precious medicinal nectar or amrita—the elixir of immortality and spiritual healing—symbolizing the alleviation of suffering and the restoration of balance to both body and mind. Both contemplative and sculptural, this Medicine Buddha has a particularly peaceful presence. A symbol of compassion and healing, this statue will make a wonderful presence at your home or practice.
