Bhaisajya Guru is known as the Medicine Buddha. He is also called the Healing Buddha. It is said that he bestows spiritual medicine when properly worshipped.
In Tibet, he can be depicted either as a Buddha or as a Bodhisatwa. As a Buddha, he has the fourth major mark of a Buddha, Ushnisha (a bulge or protuberance in the Buddha's skull, the first major mark of a Buddha), short and curly hair. He wears a monastic robe, sits cross-legged. His left hand, which is in his lap in meditation mudra, holds the medicine bowl, while his right hand, in charity mudra, holds a branch with fruit of myrobalan, a medicinal plant found in tropical countries.
