Meditating Buddha MARBLE Sculpture STATUE
Item No. 8201
Amitabha Buddha "The Buddha of Infinite Light" is a cosmic Buddha who resides in the Pure Land of the
Western Heaven where all beings enjoy unbounded happiness. Amitabha Buddha is the most popular
Buddha in Japan (known there as Amida) and China (known there as Amitofu). It's said that those who
recite his name, particularly at the time of dying, will be reborn in the Pure Land. According to Mahayana
Buddhist Sutras he was a king in a remote period of time. Renouncing his kingdom, he became a monk
and was named Dharmakara (Treasury of Dharma). After observing the misery of all sentient beings, and
moved by compassion, he made 48 vows in which he promised not to attain enlightenment until he
established this Pure Land where all could be liberated from their sufferings. He practiced for many eons
until he accomplished all his vows. Amitabha is a Sanscrit word, literally meaning boundless light and
boundless life. He is one of the five Dhyani Buddhas of Mahayana Buddhism. Together with his two chief
companions, Avalokiteshwara and Mahasthampraptta, they are known as the Western Trinity. Here Buddha
is represented in meditation posture with the hands together in Samadhi mudra. He usually faces the west.
