He influenced Tibetan thought to a considerable degree and all his books on Tantra and Sutra were translated into Tibetan.Amitayus, surrounded by eight identical small figures, is enthroned in the center of lotus petals. The petals themselves are bordered by a string of pearls. In his hands, Amitayus holds a water vessel filled with the nectar of immortality.Amitayus [Tib.: »Ce-dpag-med« Buddha of limitless life, is a secondary form of the »Tathagata« [or »Dhyani«] Buddha Amitabha. The two differ in that Amitayus wears a fivefold Buddha crown whereas Amitabha is uncrowned. As heads of the Padma Buddha family, they are the spiritual sources from which the compassionate Bodhisattva Avalokiteshvara and Tara arise.In his hands clasped in the meditation gesture [»dhyâna mudra«], Amitayus holds a water vessel [Sanskrit: »kala-sa«, Tib.: »c\'um bum-pa«] with a stylised tree of life. The vessel contains »Amrta«, which means both »nectar« and »immortality«. A flowering branch of Ashoka grows out of the vessel. This branch symbolises the sacred flowering of the unfolding spiritual-meditative life.Amitayus resides in »Sukhavati«, the »Western Paradise«, where those who seek his blessing can be reborn. Rebirth in Sukhavati, where conditions are ideal for attaining enlightenment, is achieved through personal merit and faith in Amitayus.More Recommended Antique Items↓Right-click to open above images in a new tab and view larger-sized image resourcesIf you need more pictures or video information, please feel free to let me know - Thank you !
