I. Cultural Context: The Buddha of Healing Medicine Buddha (药师琉璃光佛), or Bhaisajyaguru, is one of the Three Buddhas of the Three Times (三世佛之一). He is said to emit countless rays of light, illuminating the world and dispelling darkness (日放千光,遍照天下,普照冥暗). In tradition he is invoked to "remove the root of illness and suffering" (消除病痛之烦恼根源), "protect beings from suffering" (守护众生免遭痛苦), "bring peace, prosperity and harmony to the family" (安居乐业,家庭幸福和睦), and "dispels calamity and prolong life" (消灾延寿,减除灾害和病苦). This 4x5cm Medicine Buddha with Mandala pendant, with dual-sided card holder and gift box, is a portable support for healing, longevity and peace.
II. Visual Analysis: The Buddha of Light and the Mandala This masterpiece features the Medicine Buddha and mandala in harmonious composition:
Main Image: The pendant shows Medicine Buddha in classic form—often holding a medicine bowl (or jewel) and seated on a lotus; the mandala may appear as a backdrop or in relation to the central figure. The 4x5cm painting core keeps the iconography clear and spiritually potent.
Detail: Close-up, the painting reveals the layering of natural mineral pigments—deep blues, greens and gold associated with the healing Buddha—and the precise brushwork that defines the deity, mandala and lotus, showcasing the masterful artistry of Tibetan lineage painters.
Casing: The protective casing with dual-sided card holder wraps the painting with a durable finish, allowing the sacred image to be carried or displayed; the gift box makes it suitable as a precious offering or present.
Wearing: Worn as a pendant, the Medicine Buddha Thangka sits close to the body as a portable shrine for healing, longevity and peace—a support for "removing the root of illness" (消除病痛之烦恼根源) and "dispelling calamity and prolonging life" (消灾延寿).
III. Artistic Alchemy: Eternal Gemstone Pigments Painted in authentic Tibetan Buddhist tradition, this pendant uses Natural Mineral Pigments that remain stable for over a hundred years. The piece is "inheritable and collectible" (可传承, 可收藏), carrying the living energy of Buddhist sacred art. The dual-sided card holder and gift box add both function and dignity for daily use or gifting.

He is a powerful support for practitioners and collectors who seek the blessing of the Buddha of Healing in compact form.
