About the Medicine Buddha

3F · Flanked by the Sunlight and Moonlight Bodhisattvas

Legend has it that the Medicine Buddha lives in a world of lapis lazuli, radiating a lapis light, and vowed to relieve all beings of illness.


Behind our Medicine Buddha glows a band of blue-green light. The founder and the master carver asked themselves how to carve lapis light into wood, and settled on a Tiffany-like blue-green behind the statue, so the light seems to shine through from behind.

Sunlight and Moonlight Bodhisattvas

3F · On either side of the Medicine Buddha

The Sunlight and Moonlight Bodhisattvas stand on either side of the Medicine Buddha. Legend has it that one lights the day and the other the night, helping the Medicine Buddha watch over the sick.


Ours are carved very simply, with just a sun and a moon, because the founder wanted to save the richest detail for the Medicine Buddha.

A blessing is extra protection alongside modern medicine. If your pet is unwell, please see a vet first.
