Red Amitayus Buddha Thangka
Introduction To The Thangka :
Amitabha is also known as Amitayus, the great rescuer Buddha, in Mahayana Buddhism, notably in the Pure Land sects. Amitabha was never as popular as a savior figure in Tibet and Nepal as he was in East Asia, but he is respected as one of the five "self-born" buddhas (Dhyani-buddhas) who have existed forever. Because he bestows immortality, Amitabha is known as Amitayus, or "Infinite Life." In China and Japan, the two names are sometimes used interchangeably, but in Tibet, the two are never confused, and Amitayus is revered in a unique rite for achieving long life. He is shown wearing decorations and wearing a crown, carrying the ambrosia vase from which the eternal life diamonds descend.

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. The Thangka is revered as a holy item. They promote positivity, spread Buddhism's teachings, bring about peace, harmony, and oneness, and dispel any negative energy that may be there.
