Amitayus, also known as the Buddha of Infinite Life, is the Sambhogakaya manifestation of Amitabha Buddha. He is primarily associated with the practices of longevity, merit-making, and the removal of obstacles that shorten the human lifespan. In the Himalayan tradition, practitioners invoke his blessings to ensure they have sufficient time and health to complete their spiritual journey and benefit all sentient beings. His virtue lies in the promise of a life extended by wisdom and dedicated to the attainment of liberation.
