Amitabh Buddha | Buddha Statue | Handmade

Description

Amitabha  is the principal Buddha of Pure Land Buddhism. He is also known as Amitayus, which is understood to be his enjoyment body (Sambhogakaya). In Vajrayana Buddhism, Amitabha is known for his longevity, discernment, pure perception, and the purification of aggregates with deep awareness of the emptiness of all phenomena. The name Amitabha means "Infinite Light", and the name Amitayus means "Infinite Life".

When in the descending standing position, Amitābha is often shown with left arm bare and extended downward with thumb and forefinger touching, with the right hand facing outward also with thumb and forefinger touching. The meaning of this mudra is that wisdom (symbolized by the raised hand) is accessible to even the lowest beings, while the outstretched hand shows that Amitābha's compassion is directed at the lowest beings, who cannot save themselves. When not depicted alone, Amitabha is often portrayed with two assistant bodhisattvas, usually Avalokitesvara on the right and Mahasthamaprapta on the left.
