Aparmita, known as Amitayus in Tibet, is linked to the longevity aspect of Amitabha Buddha. The term "Amitayus" translates to "infinite life" in Sanskrit, encapsulating his essence. An Aparmita statue embodies Amitabha's longevity attribute, manifesting as the Sambhogakaya form.
The Aparmita statue presents him in a padmasana (full lotus pose). In his lap rests the vessel of "amrita," symbolizing immortality. Within Tibetan Buddhism, longevity is profound, and Aparmita holds a central role in long-life rituals. Gracing his hands is a vase, either filled with a healing elixir or a kalasha. Aparmita is invoked during rituals dedicated to extending one's lifespan.
