Amitabha, also known as Amida in Japan and Opame in Tibet, is the Buddha of the West and one of the most commonly depicted cosmic Buddhas due to his association with paradise and the afterlife. Legend has it that Amitabha was once a king who renounced his throne to become a monk known as Dharmakara Bodhisattva.
Amitabha is shown seated in a meditative posture with both hands gently folded over his lap and palms facing upward. The lotus posture in which he sits symbolizes spiritual attainment, while the begging bowl he holds signifies non-attachment. His lotus throne represents the state of enlightenment, making him a significant figure in Buddhism, particularly in the context of the afterlife and spiritual liberation.
