About Our Statue : 
The iconography of Amitabha Buddha shows him seated calmly on a lotus base, symbolizing purity and enlightenment. He wears simple monastic robes that flow gracefully over his body, representing renunciation and discipline. His hands rest in his lap in the dhyana mudra, the gesture of deep meditation, holding a begging bowl that signifies simplicity and detachment. This serene imagery emphasizes Amitabha’s role as the Buddha of Infinite Light, guiding beings toward liberation and the Pure Land.

On his forehead is the urna, a mark of spiritual insight, while the ushnisha, a crown-like protuberance on the top of his head, reflects his supreme wisdom.

Amitabha is one of the Five Dhyani Buddhas, alongside Akshobhya, Amoghasiddhi, Ratnasambhava, and Vairocana. Amitabha is known for his longevity and accumulation purification, as well as his profound understanding of the emptiness of all phenomena. Amitabha was once a monarch, according to legend. He abdicated his throne to become a Dharma-kara Bodhisattva monk. Before attaining enlightenment and becoming a Buddha, he worked for five eons. Amitabha is a Buddhist deity associated with compassion and wisdom.

Introduction To Amitabha Buddha :

In the Pure Land sects of Mahayana Buddhism, Amitabha is sometimes referred to as Amitayus, the great savior Buddha. Amitabha is worshipped as one of the five "self-born" Buddhas (Dhyani Buddhas) who have been forever; however, he was never as well-known as a savior figure in Tibet and Nepal as he was in East Asia. Amitabha bestows longevity, earning him the name Amitayus, or "Infinite Life." In China and Japan, the two names are frequently used interchangeably; however, in Tibet, the two are never confused, and Amitayus is worshipped in a specific rite to achieve long life.

How do you take care of your statues?

• Place them at room temperature, avoiding direct sunlight.
• Make sure that the area where your statue is placed is entirely free of moisture and dust.
• Place it at the highest place on your altar after being consecrated by the Lama/monks. The best practice is to keep them covered inside a glass cabinet.
• Do not use your bare hands or any objects with a rough surface to wipe the face.
• Directly touching objects with the bare hand can smudge the face, leaving scratches.
