This set of 10 6x7.5 inch Tibetan prayer flags is imprinted with Medicine Buddha, the Lord of Lapis Lazuli Light. Medicine Buddha (Sangyé Menla) is a central figure in Mahayana and Tibetan Buddhist traditions associated with healing, compassion and relief from suffering.
The Medicine Buddha is typically depicted with a lapis blue-colored body, holding a medicine bowl in his left hand filled with healing nectar and a plant or a sprig of leaves from the myrobalan tree, a medicinal plant, in his right hand.
According to Buddhist texts, the Medicine Buddha made twelve vows to help beings, including to heal all those who are sick, to alleviate the suffering of those in poverty, and to help those in fear. Recitation of his mantra, "Tayata Om Bekandze Bekandze Maha Bekandze Radza Samudgate Soha," is believed to bring healing benefits.
The Medicine Buddha is often depicted in Tibetan thangka paintings, and his image is widely used in Buddhist medicine practices, including meditation, visualization, and ritual ceremonies. He is also considered a spiritual guide who helps his devotees in their spiritual path to enlightenment.
Prayer flags are traditionally hung as expressions of prayer, aspiration and bodhicitta and are associated in Tibetan Buddhist traditions with blessing and purification.
