Introduction To Amitabha Buddha :
Amitabha, which translates to "unlimited brightness," is also known as "Amitayus," or "the Buddha of infinity." The oldest of the Five Dhyani Buddhas of the Vajrayana school, Amitabha is known as the crimson Buddha of the west.
Amitabha Buddha is frequently shown as Shakyamuni Buddha, despite the fact that he is typically sitting and using the ground-touching mudra, which is only appropriate for a seated Shakyamuni Buddha. In Tibetan Buddhism, Amitabha is a red-colored god, and red is the color of love, compassion, and emotional vitality. The lotus is his distinguishing emblem, and he is reputed to protect beings from negative attachment drives. He thus shares qualities with the lotus, such as kindness, openness, and purity.
Amitabha Buddha is the transformation of Attachment into Enlightened Form.
