Traditionally Crafted Tibetan Buddhist Statue of Amitayus Statue | Embodying Longevity, Health, and Enlightenment
This Tibetan Buddhist Statue of Amitayus measures 9.8 inches (25 cm) in height and has a base size of 6.5 inches (16.5 cm), with a total weight of 1.91 kg. The statue is crafted from copper and features 24K gold gilding, as well as gold and acrylic paintings. This combination of materials not only enhances the visual appeal of the statue but also reflects the sacred nature of Manjushri, the Bodhisattva of Wisdom.
Amitayus is seated upon a double-lotus pedestal, symbolizing purity and spiritual elevation above the mundane world, and is sitting in the meditative posture, either the vajra or lotus position, symbolizing deep meditation and tranquility. His hands are placed in the dhyana mudra (meditation gesture), with both hands resting on his lap, palms facing upward, and the right hand positioned on top of the left. This mudra represents meditation, concentration, and the attainment of spiritual perfection. Amitayus holds a vase (kalasha) in his lap, containing the nectar of immortality (amrita). This vase is his most distinctive attribute and symbolizes long life, health, and the blessings of immortality. His attire is typically that of a bodhisattva, characterized by flowing silk robes and scarves, often in vibrant colors. His expression is serene, compassionate, and peaceful, radiating a sense of boundless benevolence.

Celestial Buddha Amitayus, also known as the Buddha of Infinite Life, is the embodiment of limitless life, knowledge, and merit. He is frequently seen sitting in profound meditation, holding a vase filled with the nectar of immortality, symbolizing a long life. Both the Mahayana and Vajrayana schools of Buddhism hold Amitayus in high regard, although Tibetan Buddhism is where he is most well-known. The elimination of barriers, the accomplishment of spiritual realization, and a long, healthy life are all requested of Amitayus by devotees.
