Amitabha Buddha, who is also called Amita or Amida Buddha, probably is the best known of the Dhyani Buddhas. Amitabha symbolizes mercy and wisdom. He is associated with the third skandha, that of perception.

In this statue, Amitabha's hands are in a meditation mudra. His symbol is the lotus, representing gentleness and purity.His yellow color symbolises earth and fertility and he hold a wish - fulfilling jewel.

Amitābha possesses infinite merits resulting from good deeds over countless past lives as a bodhisattva named Dharmakāra. "Amitābha" is translatable as "Infinite Light," hence Amitābha is also called "The Buddha of Immeasurable Life and Light".

In Tibet the two forms are never confounded, and Amitayus is worshiped in a special ceremony for obtaining long life. He is depicted wearing ornaments and a crown and holding the ambrosia vase from which spill the jewels of eternal life.

As this statue is of Buddha Amitabha who is Buddha of Boundless light and he can also bring light may be a new phase in your life.
