Amitayus, revered as the embodiment of infinite life in the pure land of Aparimitagunasamchaya, is elegantly depicted in his sambhogakaya, or apparitional form. This radiant red figure, adorned with a crown and intricate jewels, holds a long-life vase delicately between his hands in a peaceful meditation gesture—a symbol of longevity and spiritual abundance. In the profound Mahayana tradition, a Buddha manifests in three bodies: the physical form (nirmanakaya), this luminous form (sambhogakaya), and the ultimate truth (dharmakaya). Embrace this statue’s serene presence to inspire reflection on life’s more profound truths and invite harmony into your sacred space.
