He carries an alms bowl in his lap within this mudra, representing renunciation and the practice of generosity. Amitabha is seated on a lotus throne, which symbolizes purity, spiritual awakening, and transcendence over the cycle of birth and death. He wears simple monastic robes, signifying detachment from worldly concerns and a commitment to the spiritual path. His serene face and gentle smile reflect boundless compassion and wisdom, while his half-closed eyes indicate deep meditation. The cranial protuberance (ushnisha) on top of his head symbolizes his supreme wisdom and enlightenment.
