Amitayus, hailing from the pure realm of Aparimitagunasamchaya or Amitavyhavat, is often depicted in his radiant sambhogakaya form—a red-hued Buddha adorned with a crown and jewels. He gently cradles a long-life vase with both hands in a serene meditation pose. In Mahayana Buddhism, a Buddha manifests in three bodies: the physical form (nirmanakaya), the blissful apparitional form (sambhogakaya), and the ultimate truth form (dharmakaya). This artwork captures the essence of Amitayus, symbolizing life force and blessings on your spiritual journey.
