Amitayus Buddha Thangka
Introduction To Buddha Amitayus:
Although Amitabha Buddha is pictured as Shakyamuni Buddha, only a seated Shakyamuni Buddha is allowed to make the earth-touching mudra. Instead, Amitabha Buddha is frequently shown sitting in meditation.
Amitabha is depicted in Tibetan Buddhism as being crimson (red being the color of love, compassion, and emotional energy). With the lotus serving as his distinctive insignia, he is renowned for shielding creatures from the harmful attachment feelings. Thus, he is linked to the purity, tenderness, and openness of the lotus. The oldest of the Five Dhyani Buddhas in the Vajrayana tradition, Amitabha is referred to as the crimson Buddha of the west. Amitabha, which translates to "unlimited brightness," is also known as "Amitayus," or "the Buddha of infinity."
How does Thangka benefit us?
It goes without saying that every detail of a painting has a symbolic meaning. Regardless of your religious affiliation, a thangka can help you on your path to enlightenment, whether you practice Buddhism or have other religious convictions. Thangkas are paintings that depict deities with various iconographic elements and symbolism that encourage meditation on the teachings of the god they depict. Any thangka is intended to aid in the removal of the film of ignorance, which is a significant barrier to the road to enlightenment.
