Amitayus, the Buddha of Infinite Life, symbolizes long life, merit, and wisdom. His serene expression and compassionate gaze reflect his boundless benevolence toward all sentient beings. He is depicted seated in the vajra posture on a lotus base, symbolizing purity and spiritual awakening. In his lap, he holds a kalasha, a sacred vase brimming with the nectar of immortality, representing health and longevity. His hands rest in the dhyāna mudrā, the gesture of deep meditation and concentration. Adorning his crown are the Five Dhyani Buddhas, each embodying one of the five transcendent wisdoms that dispel ignorance: ultimate reality, mirror-like wisdom, even-mindedness, discerning insight, and perfect action. The ushnisha on top of his head signifies his enlightened mind and spiritual accomplishment. As the embodiment of amrita, the nectar of immortality, Amitayus grants longevity and strength, enabling practitioners to sustain their spiritual journey toward awakening.
