Amitayus, the Buddha of Infinite Life, symbolises the extension of life's quality and quantity through the accumulation of merit and wisdom. His serene expression and compassionate gaze reflect his boundless benevolence toward all sentient beings. Seated in the lotus posture atop a lotus throne, he embodies spiritual stability and purity. His hands are in dhyāna mudrā (the meditative gesture), holding the vase of immortality, which represents longevity, wisdom, and merit. His ushnisha signifies his awakened wisdom and spiritual mastery. As one of the Three Long Life Deities—alongside White Tara and Ushnishavijaya—Amitayus is central to practices aimed at healing, rejuvenating, and extending life's duration. He wears a five-pointed crown, which represents the five Dhyani buddha and their aspects of enlightenment.
