This magnificent Medicine Buddha or also known as Teacher of Medicine, King of Lapis Lazuli Light is so-named because of His mercy and compassionate ability to protect you and your family members from all kind of illness. Medicine Buddha has made a vow to help those who call upon him when ill or injured, and to aid those who revere him to achieve a long and health life.
"His radiant body is azure blue. His
left hand is in the meditation mudra and holds a begging bowl full of
long life nectar in his lap. As a sign that he gives protection from
illness, his right hand is outstretched in the gesture of giving and
holds the "great medicine", the myrobalan plant (a-ru-ra)".
Ancient
teachings tell us that merely seeing the Medicine Buddha, or even
seeing an image of the Medicine Buddha, or hearing the name of the
Medicine Buddha, can confer inconceivable benefits.
In Tibetan images of the Medicine Buddha the left hand typically holds a blooming myrobalan
plant. Tibetan medicine recognizes three basic types of illness, the
root causes of which are the conflicting emotions -- passion,
aggression, and ignorance. Myrobalan is the only herb in the Tibetan pharmacopoeia
that can aid in healing each of these three types of diseases. This is
like the action of the Buddha of Healing, who has the power to see the
true cause of any affliction, whether spiritual, physical or psychological, and who does whatever is necessary to alleviate it.

Facing into or out of the house or office has no significant effect.
