Amitayus, the Buddha of Infinite Life, symbolizes longevity, vitality, and spiritual abundance. His calm and compassionate expression and gentle gaze radiate a deep sense of kindness toward all beings. Seated in the vajra posture on a lotus base, he holds the long-life vase (kalasha), filled with the nectar of immortality, representing health and longevity. His hands rest in the dhyana mudra, signifying peace and meditation. Amitayus is adorned with a crown of the Five Dhyani Buddhas, which symbolizes the five primordial wisdoms that transcend ignorance and suffering, representing qualities such as truth, mirror-like wisdom, equality, discriminating wisdom, and all-accomplishing wisdom. Amitayus also has a prominent ushnisha, the cranial bump at the top of his head, signifying his enlightened wisdom and spiritual power. As one of the "Three Long Life Deities," alongside White Tara and Ushnishavijaya, Amitayus is commonly invoked in practices focused on healing and extending life.
