The Evil Eye is a malevolent look that many cultures believe able to cause injury or misfortune for the person at whom it is directed for reasons of envy or dislike. Many cultures around the world believe that through our thoughts or through an envious glare, one person is able to cause harm to another in the form of illness, injury, or even death.

It’s believed that there are three types of evil eyes. The first are unconscious evil eyes. These harm people and things, without intending to. The second type intends to harm. The third one is unseen, hidden evil which is the most scared one. It was believed that, this eye saw all the wickedness in the world and removed poverty and ignorance. When Horus opened its eyes the world was enlightened, when he closed, it became dark. From Egypt, the eye talisman had spread to the Mediterranean, Middle East and Europe.

Talismans created to protect against the evil eye are also frequently called “evil eyes.” The bead reflects the evil intent back to the onlooker. It somewhat resembles an eye and it is said to protect the user, blue evil eyes being the most famous.

The Medicine Buddha, as the name implies, is the Healing Buddha. In the traditional paintings (Tibetan thangkas) he is surrounded by various herbs and medicine, with halos of healing energy radiating from his head and body. Usually portrayed seated with a jar of medicine in his left hand, often blue-colored, the Medicine Buddha’s right hand is resting on his knee in the mudra of blessings, holding a stem of a myrobalan healing plant. As Medicine Buddha’s vow was to help heal all the sick and the injured, he is often called upon to help eliminate sickness.
