Buddha, a celestial figure in Mahayana Buddhism, presides over the Western pure land, offering a path to enlightenment through devotion and compassion. Amitabha, whose name means “Infinite Light,” is renowned for his boundless compassion and vows to help sentient beings achieve liberation. The depiction in deep meditation, Amitabha Buddha is often shown with a reddish hue, signifying the fire of discernment and love. His primary mudra is the Dhyana mudra, where his hand rests in his lap, symbolizing meditation and concentration.
The sentient being practices mindfulness for Amitabha and recites his name to attain rebirth in his Pure Land, where conditions are conducive to achieving enlightenment. The Pure Land tradition emphasizes the universality of Amitabha’s compassion, providing solace and hope to followers seeking spiritual refuge.
Amitabha’s teachings inspire millions, offering a compassionate pathway to transcend the cycle of birth and death, embodying the profound essence of Mahayana Buddhism.
