The image of the Medicine Buddha is a very specific painting for meditation. The Buddha represents healing and curing of the five afflictive or negative emotions, and in his hand he holds a curative plant for healing. In meditation, the devotee will visualize and emulate within his own life the clear space of the mind, received from and inspired by the image.

It has been said that if one meditates on the Medicine Buddha, one will eventually attain enlightenment, but in the meantime one will experience an increase in healing powers both for oneself and others and a decrease in physical and mental illness and suffering.
