🧿 The Blue Medicine Buddha: Healing Through Light and Mantra

Call in radiant healing, peace, and restoration with the Medicine Buddha’s chant.

In Tibetan Buddhism, the Medicine Buddha — also known as Bhaisajyaguru — is the Buddha of healing and medicine, radiating deep compassion and light. His presence is a balm for the body, mind, and spirit. Known for his striking deep blue aura, the Medicine Buddha offers healing not just from physical illness but from suffering, emotional pain, and spiritual disconnection.

At the heart of his practice is a powerful healing mantra, said to purify karma, calm the mind, and promote wholeness.

💙 Who Is the Medicine Buddha?

The Medicine Buddha is depicted in serene meditation, holding a bowl of healing nectar in one hand and the myrobalan plant in the other — an ancient symbol of medicine. He is often painted or visualized in luminous lapis lazuli blue, symbolizing inner stillness, cosmic truth, and vibrational healing.

His vow is to relieve all sentient beings from suffering and illness and to help them achieve spiritual liberation.
