药师佛(Medicine Buddha)

药师琉璃光如来，又译为药师琉璃光王佛，简称药师如来、琉璃光佛、消灾延寿药师佛，梵文Bhaishajyaguru, 为东方净琉璃世界之教主。我国佛教寺院大雄宝殿多数在中间供奉本师释迦牟尼佛，右边是阿弥陀佛，左边是药师琉璃光如来。此为横三世佛。药师佛很好辨认，一般右手膝前执尊胜诃子果枝，左手捧佛钵，双足跏趺于莲花宝座中央。身后有光环、祥云、远山等景象。(特别提示：也有寺院大雄宝殿供奉释迦牟尼佛;阿难尊者和迦叶尊者。亦有供奉毗卢遮那佛、释迦牟尼佛、卢舍那佛，此为三身佛。另有供奉过去燃灯佛;现在释迦佛;未来弥勒佛, 此为竖三世佛。我国寺院供奉横三世佛或竖三世佛较为常见。若为竖三世佛，药师琉璃光佛则供奉在药师殿，左右即是日光、月光二位上首菩萨。)
