Amitayus, the Buddha of Boundless Life, is revered in Tibetan Buddhism as a principal deity associated with longevity, health, and merit. He is often depicted holding a vase of immortal nectar, symbolizing the ultimate blessings for a long and fruitful life. While often conflated with Amitabha, Amitayus specifically embodies the aspect of infinite life and wisdom, offering protection from untimely death and obstacles to spiritual progress.
