An Amitayus Buddha represents the Buddha of infinite life and is revered in Mahayana Buddhism, particularly in Pure Land Buddhism. Also known as Amitabha Buddha, Amitayus Buddha embodies compassion and the aspiration to attain enlightenment for the benefit of all sentient beings.
Amitayus Buddha is depicted seated in a meditative posture with his hands in the Dhyana Mudra, symbolizing meditation. He holds a vessel, known as a Kalasha, in his hands. The Kalasha contains the nectar of immortality, representing the boundless life and compassion that Amitayus Buddha bestows upon devotees. He is often praised for blessings of long life, health, and the aspiration to be reborn in Sukhavati, the pure land associated with Amitayus, where they can continue their journey towards enlightenment in an ideal environment.
