Description: Chinese Statues A GILT FIGURE OF Medicine Buddha - Bhaisajyaguru Bronze China Bhaiṣajyaguru (Sanskrit: भैषज्यगुरु, Chinese: 藥師佛, Japanese: 薬師仏, Korean: 약사불, Vietnamese: Dược Sư Phật, Standard Tibetan: སངས་རྒྱས་སྨན་བླ), or Bhaishajyaguru, formally Bhaiṣajya-guru-vaiḍūrya-prabhā-rāja ("Medicine Master and King of Lapis Lazuli Light"; Chinese: 藥師琉璃光(王)如來, Japanese: 薬師瑠璃光如来, Korean: 약사유리광여래, Vietnamese: Dược Sư Lưu Ly Quang Vương Như Lai), is the Buddha of healing and medicine in Mahāyāna Buddhism. Commonly referred to as the "Medicine Buddha", he is described as a doctor who cures suffering (Pali/Sanskrit: dukkha/duḥkha) using the medicine of his teachings.The image of Bhaiṣajyaguru is usually expressed with a canonical Buddha-like form holding a gallipot and, in some versions, possessing blue skin. Though also considered to be a guardian of the East, in most cases, Akshobhya is given that role. As an exceptional case, the honzon of Mount Kōya's Kongōbu Temple was changed from Akshobhya to Bhaiṣajyaguru.Sanskritभैषज्यगुरु Bhaiṣajyaguru भैषज्यगुरुवैडूर्यप्रभाराज Bhaiṣajyaguru-vaiḍūryaprabhārājaBurmeseဘဲရှဇျဂုရုဝဲဍူရ်္ယာပြဘာရာဇာChinese藥師佛 (Pinyin: Yàoshīfó) 藥師如來 (Pinyin: Yàoshī Rúlái)Japanese薬師如来やくしにょらい (romaji: Yakushi Nyorai) 薬師瑠璃光如来やくしるりこうにょらい (romaji: Yakushirurikō Nyorai)Khmerភៃសជ្យគុរុ (phei-sach-kuru)Korean약사여래 (RR: Yagsa Yeorae) 약사유리광여래 (RR: Yagsayurigwang Yeorae)MongolianОточ МанлаRussianБудда МедициныThaiพระไภษัชยคุรุไวฑูรยประภาตถาคต Phra Phaisatchaya Khuru Waidun Prapha TathakhotTibetanསངས་རྒྱས་སྨན་བླ་ Wylie: sangs rgyas sman bla THL: Sangyé MenlaVietnameseDược Sư Phật Dược Sư Lưu Ly Quang Vương Phật Dược Sư Lưu Ly Quang Vương Như Lai Đại Y Vương Phật Tiêu Tai Diên Thọ Dược Sư Phật Excellent condition.ERA1900 - 2000COUNTRY OF ORIGINChinaMATERIALBronzeTITLE OF ARTWORKA GILT FIGURE OF Medicine BuddhaSIGNATUREHand signedCONDITIONExcellent conditionHEIGHT10.3 cmWIDTH7.3 cmDEPTH4.6 cmWEIGHT675 g
