Statue of Eternal Life of Amitayus | Symbol of Longevity
Eternal Life of Amitayus stands at 9.6 inches tall with a base width of 8.5 inches and weighs 1.99 kg. The statue is made of copper, covered with a triple layer of 24K gold gilding, and carved with deeply engraved carvings that produce a magnificent 3D-like effect. This sculpture, adorned with gemstones, handcrafted by expert Nepalese artisans, elegantly symbolizes Himalayan Buddhism's sacred traditions, making it an appropriate addition to altars, meditation places, or sacred collections.
Amitayus, revered as the Buddha of Infinite Life, embodies the divine qualities of longevity, vitality, and spiritual richness. His tranquil expression and compassionate gaze reflect his boundless kindness toward all sentient beings. Seated in the vajra posture atop a lotus throne, he cradles a kalasha, a sacred long-life vase brimming with the nectar of immortality—an emblem of lasting health and eternal life. His hands are placed in the dhyana mudra, symbolizing deep meditation and serene inner balance. Adorning his crown are the Five Dhyani Buddhas, each representing 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 one of the Three Long Life Deities—alongside White Tara and Ushnishavijaya—Amitayus is central to practices aimed at healing, restoring life energy, and promoting longevity.
