The Medicine Buddha: Bhaisajyaguru and the Rekong Black Gold Thangka with Copper Casing
Bhaisajyaguru (药师佛), the Medicine Buddha (药师琉璃光如来), is the lord of the Eastern Lapis Lazuli Pure Land (东方琉璃净土教主). He heals bodily illness and suffering (救治众生身体疾病苦厄), addresses greed, anger and delusion (消除贪瞋痴), and removes the root of illness and affliction (消除病痛之烦恼根源). He protects beings from disaster and suffering (守护众生免遭灾害痛苦), brings peace, prosperity and family harmony (安居乐业，家庭幸福和睦), and dispels calamity and prolongs life (消灾延寿). Today we look at a 3.5cm pendant from the Rekong Black Gold series (热贡黑金经典系列)—painted by Rekong artists with mineral pigments and layered gold (热贡画师矿物颜料和多层纯金粉手绘), supports testing (支持检测), with copper casing (铜壳), inheritable and collectible (可传承 可收藏)—a compact support for healing and longevity.
Rekong Black Gold and Mineral Pigments The Rekong Black Gold series (热贡黑金经典系列) is a classic hand-painted tradition. Each Bhaisajyaguru pendant is painted with mineral pigments and layered gold, so that the image carries the symbolism of the Medicine Buddha and the Eastern Pure Land. The piece is "inheritable and collectible" (可传承, 可收藏). The copper casing (铜壳) keeps the sacred image protected and ready for wear, while the mineral pigments and gold ensure that the image does not fade with time. The 3.5cm format makes it a dignified yet wearable support for those who honour the Medicine Buddha and seek his blessing for healing and longevity.
The Healer of Body and Mind in the Palm Wearing this pendant is an invitation to carry Bhaisajyaguru's blessing with you: healing of illness and suffering, removal of afflictions, protection from disaster, peace and family harmony, and the dispelling of calamity with the prolonging of life (消灾延寿). In Buddhist tradition, the Medicine Buddha is revered as the one who heals both bodily and mental afflictions. For practitioners and for those who value Rekong tradition and mineral-pigment art, this pendant offers a tangible link to a buddha associated with healing and the bestowal of longevity.
A Portable Shrine for Healing and Longevity Beyond ritual use, the Bhaisajyaguru Thangka offers support for the modern journey: heal illness and suffering; remove afflictions; protect from disaster; peace and family harmony; dispel calamity and prolong life. He is a powerful support for those who wish to invoke the Medicine Buddha's blessing. Many wear or keep such images to invoke his blessing for health and longevity in daily life. This 3.5cm pendant brings that presence into everyday life—a portable shrine for those who seek healing and the prolonging of life.
Who Wears the Rekong Black Gold Bhaisajyaguru This piece suits anyone drawn to the Medicine Buddha: practitioners seeking healing and longevity, those who wish for peace and family harmony, and collectors who value Rekong Black Gold tradition and mineral-pigment art.
