In its iconography, Amitayus is depicted as the Buddha of Infinite Life, embodying longevity, vitality, and spiritual merit. He is typically shown seated in a stable vajra posture upon a lotus throne, symbolizing purity, stability, and liberation from cyclic existence. His serene expression reflects deep meditative absorption and boundless compassion. He holds the vase of immortality (kalasha) in both hands resting in his lap, which contains the nectar of long life and spiritual realization. This vase symbolizes the granting of longevity, healing, and the preservation of life energy. His form is richly adorned with bodhisattva ornaments, including a crown, earrings, necklaces, and flowing silk garments, representing the manifestation of enlightened qualities in a peaceful and benevolent form.

In Vajrayana Buddhism, Amitayus is revered as the Buddha of Infinite Life, closely associated with Amitabha, the Buddha of Boundless Light. While Amitabha represents the ultimate, luminous nature of the mind, Amitayus represents the active, vital aspect of longevity. Practitioners invoke his blessings to overcome obstacles to life, cultivate vitality, and secure the time needed to achieve full spiritual realization for the benefit of all beings.
