Medicine Buddha is widely associated with the radiance of lapis lazuli in Buddhist tradition, while the medicine bowl and medicinal plant identify the figure's compassionate response to suffering. The sculpture gives hope, care, and the wish for well-being a vivid devotional focus.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe blue body reads clearly from across a room and offers more visual intensity than the white Medicine Buddha.
