Phra Buddha Sirinaka Bhaisajyaguru Chulabhorn
Phra Buddha Sirinaka Bhaisajyaguru Chulabhorn is the presiding Buddha image of Chulabhorn Hospital. The design was conceived under the royal guidance of Professor Dr. HRH Princess Chulabhorn Krom Phra Srisavangavadhana and sculpted by Nonthivathn Chandhanaphalin (2006 National Artist in Visual Arts - Sculpture).
The Buddha image features a contemporary applied style, influenced by the iconography of
Phra Bhaisajyaguru Vaitoonprapha (the Medicine Buddha). It is depicted in the Naga Prok attitude (sheltered by the Naga’s hood), holding a medicine pot in the palm of his hand. According to Mahayana Buddhist belief, "Bhaisajyaguru Vaitoonprapha Tathagata" is the Buddha of Healing. He attained enlightenment to deliver all sentient beings from illnesses and alleviate physical pain, mental suffering, and karmic ailments of humanity.
