Medicine Buddha is depicted as having a dark blue (lapis lazuli) coloured body, this being an archetypal colour of healing. With his left hand he holds a bowl of healing nectars, and with his right, a medicine plant.
“By this practice of Medicine Buddha, may I (or the being for whom I am practicing) be purified of all disease, pain, and suffering, and enjoy robust good health, and attain complete and perfect enlightenment to lead all other beings to this same state.”
