As the hierarch of the oriental Sukhavati, Bhaisajyaguru is the Buddha who rescues all the living creatures from illness and sufferings. This Bhaisajyaguru, sitting on the girdled lotus throne in the fulllotus position, has a fleshy and amiable face and unaffected and quiet look, with a humping spiral coil and in a two-shoulder cassock. Bhaisajyaguru lives in the oriental Sukhavati where the land is covered with pure colored glaze and the watch towers and palaces are composed of the Buddhist seven jewels. The territory is majestic and blissful, so the clothes are engraved to be normative and graceful, as if it is the illumination of the Buddha light.
