Buddha Amitabha, also known as Amitābha (“Infinite Light”) or Amida Buddha, is one of the most revered Buddhas in Mahayana Buddhism. He is the Buddha of Infinite Light and Infinite Life, embodying boundless compassion and wisdom. Unlike Shakyamuni Buddha, who lived as a historical figure in India, Amitabha is considered a transcendental or cosmic Buddha, presiding over the Western Pure Land (Sukhavati), a realm of bliss and enlightenment.
