This print showcases the exquisite artwork of Bhaisajyaguru, the buddha of healing and medicine. Created around 1319 by an anonymous artist, this masterpiece can be found in the prestigious collection of the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York. The painting depicts a serene figure seated on a lotus throne, emanating tranquility and wisdom. With his right hand resting gently on his knee and holding a medicinal plant, Bhaisajyaguru symbolizes healing and compassion. His left hand holds a begging bowl filled with nectar, representing spiritual nourishment. Originating from the Himalayas and Tibet, this Tibetan Buddhist artwork is steeped in rich mythology and allegory. The use of mineral pigment on cotton adds depth to its vibrant colors, enhancing its visual impact.

As part of tantric Buddhism, this painting embodies the profound teachings of yoga tantras that emphasize inner transformation through meditation practices. It serves as a powerful reminder that true healing encompasses both body and mind. With its intricate details and symbolic imagery, this fine art piece invites viewers into the realm of ancient Eastern spirituality while celebrating the timeless themes of compassion and restoration embodied by Bhaisajyaguru—the revered
