Jīvaka (Pali: Jīvaka Komārabhacca; Sanskrit: Jīvaka Kumārabhṛta) was the personal physician (Sanskrit: vaidya) of the Buddha and the Indian King Bimbisāra. He lived in Rājagṛha, present-day Rajgir, in the 6th–5th century BCE. Sometimes described as the "Medicine King" (pinyin: yi wang), he figures prominently in legendary accounts in Asia as a model healer, and is honoured as such by traditional healers in several Asian countries. * Accounts about Jīvaka can be found in Early Buddhist Texts in many textual traditions such as the Pāli and Mūlasarvāstivāda traditions, as well as later Buddhist discourses and devotional Avadāna texts. Textual traditions agree that Jīvaka was born as a foundling child of a courtesan, but the texts do not agree who this courtesan was, nor who the father was. Regardless, Jīvaka is found and raised by people from the royal court of King Bimbisāra. As he grows up, Jīvaka decides to travel to Takṣaśilā, to learn traditional medicine from a well-respected teacher. He turns out to be a promising student, and after seven years, starts his healing profession in Rājagṛha. His medical feats gain him a reputation and he is quickly appointed as the personal physician of King Bimbisāra and the Buddha. As he gets more into contact with the Buddha, he develops faith in Buddhism and becomes an important supporter of the religion, building a monastery in the process. Later, Bimbisāra is killed by his son Ajātaśatru, who usurps the throne. Eventually, Jīvaka is instrumental in bringing him to see the Buddha, to whom the new king repents his evil deeds. * In the texts, Jīvaka is depicted performing complicated medical procedures, including procedures that could be interpreted as brain surgery. Scholars are in debate to which extent these depictions have historical value. Regardless, Jīvaka is honoured throughout Asian history by Buddhists, and to some extent by healers outside of Buddhism, as a model physician and Buddhist saint. Several medieval medical texts and procedures in India and China are attributed to him. Up until the present day, Jīvaka is honoured by Indians and Thai as a patron of traditional medicine, and he has a central role in all ceremonies involving Thai traditional medicine. Furthermore, Jīvaka's legendary persona has had an important role in helping to proselytise and legitimise Buddhism, as some of the details of Jīvaka's accounts were adjusted to fit the local milieus in which they were passed on. Jīvaka's monastery was identified by the Chinese pilgrim Xuan Zang in the 7th century, and it was excavated in the 19th century. Presently, it is one of the oldest Buddhist monasteries with archaeological remains still in existence. |
