Our Handmade Medicine Buddha statue is depicted in full lotus pose on a double lotus pedestal. Additionally, there are special engravings that the sculptor included. Please observe the Tibetan auspicious symbols in his robe and also on the pedestal. There is also a diamond engraved on his hand and a vajra on the top layer of the rear pedestal.
The right turning coils on his head indicate that the teachings of the Dharma are universally correct. This is because in our universe the planets orbit to the right. Further indications of royalty include the ushnisha topknot, neck lines, elongated ears and third eye of wisdom between his brows.
Healing Attributes of Medicine Buddha Statues
Furthermore, this handmade Medicine Buddha statue is depicted with his traditional myrobalan plant held between his index finger and thumb in the right hand. Also, his right hand is displaying the classic Varada “gift giving” mudra. Buddhists believe that unwholesome karma is the source of all suffering and diligent practice is the cure. In the left hand of our Medicine Buddha statue he is holding his lapis bowl which contains the three nectars. These nectars will cure the three poisons of delusion, ill will and greed.

LP Omaha, Nebraska (verified owner) –
I bought a Medicine Buddha statue from Edwin about a month ago (August 2021). The statue is absolutely beautiful and the “real thing.” The main reason that I am writing this is to assure others who are thinking of buying a statue—or any other item—from Edwin’s website: Please do. You’ll be so glad you did. The statue I received is the very same one shown in the website photos. I also received excellent customer service and guidance from Edwin. I can assure others that they will receive the same. The website receives payment via credit card, but Edwin can arrange to receive payment in other ways such as an international wire transfer, which is the method I used. I had my statue consecrated and asked Edwin if the donation I was considering would be considered generous; He told me it would. I am thinking that this donation is not money; it’s goodwill and gratitude and a very real connection to others. I’m not a paid advocate for Edwin’s website. I’m just a very happy client who is grateful that I found it.
