The Hall of Bhaisajyaguru is the hall to enshrine Bhaisajyaguru, who is also named "Yaoshifo" (药师佛; 藥師佛) for short in Chinese Buddhism.[1][2][3]

He is said to be the hierarch of the Eastern vaiḍūryanirbhāsā.[3] Sitting in the center of the lotus pedestal, the statue of Bhaisajyaguru are usually with kind and solemn deportment, blue body and dark hair.[3] With big ears to his shoulders, he wears the clothes of the Buddha and exposes breast and right arm.[3] On the left of Bhaisajyaguru is Suryaprabha with a sun wheel in his hand, representing light; on the right is Candraprabha, with a moon wheel in his hand, representing coolness.[4] They are called "Bhaisajyaguru Three Honored Gods" (药师三尊; 藥師三尊) or "Eastern Three Saints" (东方三圣; 東方三聖).[4] Many Chinese people believe that enshrining Bhaisajyaguru can cure all diseases, relieve a variety of illness and pain, ward off unluckiness and extend longevity, so since ancient times, people from all walks life worship the Bhaisajyaguru.[4]
