Originate in Mahāyāna Buddhism, Bhaiṣajyaguru’s original name and title were rāja (King); however, all translations and commentaries have followed the Chinese Buddhist scholar Xuanzang (玄奘), which translates as Tathāgata (Buddha). Commonly referred as “Medicine Buddha” or “King of Medicine Master”; he is described as a doctor who cures dukkha (suffering) using the medicine of his teachings. Bhaiṣajyaguru dress in loose garment, wearing jewlery with his eyes gaze downward with compassion; right leg exteneded while right hand holding haritaki (訶子菓), the herbal medicine which cures all dukkha (suffering); while the left hand clutching the stem of haritaki plant.
