Bhaishajyaguru (sman bla, buddha) :: buddha

Object description

Bhaisajyaguru (sanskrit för "Medicinbuddha") är en mahayansk buddha som är känd för sina läkande krafter. Han sägs leva i ett buddhafält i öst kallat Vaiduryanirbhasa. Utövande relaterat till Bhaisajyaguru i förmån för sjuka är mycket populärt i Tibet, Kina och Japan.

Han sägs kunna bota förkylningar och andra fysiska och mentala åkommor, men han sägs även kunna bota det samsariska tillståndet – det vill säga hjälpa människor till upplysning. I Tibet fungerar Bhaisajyaguru även som en slags beskyddare av medicin.

Han avbildas antingen i färgen blå, beryll eller guld, med en medicinskål i en hand.

Important to know about the information in the online collection database

Users of the database are warned that some records may include language or terminology dating from the 19th and 20th centuries which depicted people in ways that are obsolete and/or offensive. We are conscious that the inclusion of such terminology is problematic. As an institution, we have chosen to include this historic information in our database because it is part of the documentation for the object, photograph, or archival item. Where known, objects associated with, or photographs depicting, ritual or ceremonial activity have been hidden in the publicly accessible database as there may be restrictions relating to the age, gender, initiation and ceremonial status or clan of the person who may see them. The database may also include the names of deceased persons, which could cause sadness or distress, particularly to relatives of these people.
