According to the Larger Sutra of Immeasurable Life, Amitabha's magnificence surpasses that of all other great beings; thus, he is known as the Buddha of all the Buddhas. Buddha Shakyamuni once said of Amitabha, “The majestic glory of his light could not be exhaustively described if I praised it continuously, day and night, for the period of one Kalpa.”\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAmitabha Buddha dwells in a pure celestial realm created via the power of his infinite merit, which has accumulated over countless lifetimes as a Bodhisattva. His light shines brilliantly from this heavenly realm, pervading the entire universe. According to the Sutra, if sentient beings encounter his light, their defilements are removed; if they see his light, they are relieved and freed from affliction. At the end of their lives, beings who have faith in Amitabha reach emancipation, as he gives them rebirth in his Pure Land. As Shakyamuni explains, “Sentient beings born in that Buddha-land all reside among those assured of nirvana.”\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAmitabha is depicted in Dhyana Mudra, the gesture of meditation with both palms facing up and lying in his lap. His right hand, resting on top, symbolizes enlightenment, while his left hand, resting below, represents the world of appearance. Thus, Amitabha’s posture expresses his mastery over the world of appearance through enlightenment and signifies the enlightened state of mind for which samsara and nirvana are one. In some representations, he holds the traditional begging bowl of an ordained Buddhist monk. The bowl is filled with amrita, the elixir of awakening and immortality, and symbolizes Amitabha’s infinite openness and receptivity toward all sentient beings.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n \n\n\u003cp\u003eSize of Painting : 15-inch x 20-inch (38 cm x 51 cm) \u003cbr\u003e\nMaterial: Handmade Cotton Canvas \u003cbr\u003e\nColor: stone\/water \u003cbr\u003e\ngold\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eImportant Information:\u003cbr\u003e\n- Each painting is uniquely hand-painted, ensuring no two pieces are identical.\u003cbr\u003e\n- Please note that colors may vary slightly due to differences in lighting and screen resolutions.\u003cbr\u003e\n- The true beauty of this Thangka is even more striking in person.\u003cbr\u003e\n- The size mentioned is for the painting only and does not include the outer border.\u003cbr\u003e\n- All items will be carefully packed in a PVC tube to guarantee safe delivery.\u003cbr\u003e\n- Buyers are responsible for any import taxes and duties applied at their destination, which are not included in the purchase price.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Tibetan Thangka Art","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53226478403881,"sku":"AMITAVA1520","price":408.02,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0803\/1282\/8201\/files\/il_fullxfull.4032292757_eb3y.jpg?v=1780501316","url":"https:\/\/www.tibetanthangkaart.com\/products\/hand-painted-amitabha-buddha-thangka-tibetan-spiritual-art","provider":"Tibetan Thangka Art","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
