Amitabha Buddha, meaning “Infinite Light”, is a principal figure in Mahāyāna Buddhism and the central Buddha of the Western Pure Land, known as Sukhāvatī. He embodies boundless compassion and wisdom, dedicating himself to guiding all sentient beings toward liberation from samsara. Devotees believe that sincere practice and devotion to Amitabha, often through recitation of his mantra or visualization, can lead to rebirth in his Pure Land, a realm of perfect peace and spiritual progress. Amitabha is typically depicted with a serene expression, seated in meditation with hands in dhyāna mudrā, sometimes holding an alms bowl, symbolizing his endless generosity and meditative focus.
