Amitabha Buddha Thangka
Introduction To The Thangka :
Amitabha is Amitayus, the great savior Buddha, in Mahayana Buddhism, notably in the Pure Land sects. Amitabha was never as popular as a savior figure in Tibet and Nepal as he was in East Asia. He is still regarded as one of the five "self-born" buddhas (Dhyani-buddhas) who have existed in perpetuity. Because he bestows immortality, Amitabha is known as Amitayus, or "Infinite Life." In China and Japan, the two names are interchanged, but in Tibet, they are never confused in a special rite for achieving long life. He is shown wearing decorations and wearing a crown, carrying the ambrosia vase from which the eternal life diamonds descend.

How does Thangka benefit us?

Thangkas are paintings that depict deities with various iconographic elements and symbolism that encourage meditation on the teachings of the god they depict.
