Amitabha Buddha, also known as Amitayus or Amituofo, is a Mahayana Buddhist celestial Buddha associated with the Pure Land tradition. Many Buddhist practitioners regard him as a savior and guide to the afterlife, and he is revered as a supreme deity."Amitabha" means "infinite light," referring to his radiant and boundless nature. According to Buddhist scriptures, Amitabha rules over a pure realm known as Sukhavati, or the "Pure Land," which is thought to be a paradise with favorable conditions for spiritual progress and eventual enlightenment. Devotees who chant his name or recite his mantra with pure intention are said to be reborn after death in the Pure Land, where they can continue their spiritual practice and be guided by Amitabha to ultimate liberation. Amitabha is frequently depicted with a red or gold body, a monastic robe, and a begging bowl. His most famous posture is the meditation posture, in which he rests both hands on his lap, palms up, one on top of the other, holding a lotus flower. He is sometimes shown with two bodhisattvas, Avalokiteshvara and Mahasthamaprapta, who are considered his attendants.Amitabha Buddha is revered throughout East Asia, particularly in China, Japan, and Korea, where his teachings have inspired the creation of beautiful art and literature. His teachings are based on the Pure Land Buddhism principle, which emphasizes devotion to Amitabha and the desire to be reborn in his Pure Land as a means of spiritual awakening.
