Amitabha Infinite Light Buddha: The Buddha of Western Pure Land

Amitabha, the Buddha of Infinite Light, presides over the Western Pure Land of Sukhavati. It is a land of peace without limitations where beings are reborn without suffering by the power of his compassionate vow. Amitabha is revered in Tibetan, Newar and wider Mahayana Buddhist traditions as the personification of infinite wisdom and infinite compassion, and his statue is a central feature of shrines dedicated to Pure Land aspiration, deathbed practice and daily devotion. 

Iconography and Symbolism

• Meditative Position: Amitabha has been identified as sitting in the vajra position, with his hands in a meditation mudra and his legs crossed. This shows that he is delighted with himself and always seeks ways to enlighten others.
• Dhyana Mudra: Amitabha is typically portrayed with his hands resting on his lap in the gesture of meditative equipoise, sometimes holding an alms bowl, which signifies deep contemplative absorption.
• Alms Bowl: Often held in the lap, symbolizing renunciation and the boundless generosity extended to beings seeking rebirth in the Pure Land.
• Lotus Throne: Symbolizes purity and non-attachment, indicating that Amitabha is present in the world yet is unaffected by its afflictions.
