Amitayus, the Buddha of Infinite Life, symbolizes blessings of longevity, vitality, and spiritual abundance. His peaceful expression and compassionate gaze reflect his boundless benevolence toward all beings. Seated in the vajra posture on a lotus base, he holds a kalasha (long-life vase) filled with the nectar of immortality, symbolizing health and enduring life. His hands rest in the dhyana mudra, representing deep meditative stillness and inner peace. Crowned by the Five Dhyani Buddhas, he embodies transcendent wisdoms that eliminate ignorance: ultimate truth, mirror-like clarity, equanimity, discriminating awareness, and perfect action. His ushnisha atop his head signifies his awakened wisdom and spiritual mastery. As one of the Three Long Life Deities—alongside White Tara and Ushnishavijaya—Amitayus plays a key role in rituals focused on healing, life force renewal, and longevity.
