The Medicine Buddha, also known as the Medicine Tathagata or the Lapis Lazuli Light Buddha, is the ruler of the Eastern Pure Lapis Lazuli World. He is called the Medicine Buddha because he can cure all diseases in the world. In the realm of thangka art, the Medicine Buddha is depicted entirely in blue, symbolizing the purity of his Dharma body—transparent and clear like lapis lazuli. This also represents his ability to dispel the afflictions and karmic obstacles of all sentient beings, bringing physical and mental tranquility.

The iconography of the Medicine Buddha features him holding a medicine bowl in his left hand, containing remedies to heal the ailments of sentient beings, while his right hand holds a medicinal pill or herb and forms the fearlessness mudra (abhaya mudra). This gesture signifies his ability to grant sentient beings fearless courage, alleviating their fear of illness and death. The Medicine Buddha sits in the full lotus posture (vajrasana), symbolizing his meditative stability and serenity, as well as his steadfast commitment to guiding all beings. The Medicine Buddha brings inner peace and heightened self-awareness, ensuring well-being, health, and longevity for all.
