Amitabha Buddha “The Buddha of Infinite Light” is a Buddha who resides in the Pure Land of the Western Heaven where all beings enjoy unrestrained happiness. Amitabha Buddha is the most popular Buddha in Japan, known there as Amida and Amitofu in China. 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 king in a remote period of time. Renouncing his kingdom, he became a monk and was named Treasury of Dharma, Dharmakara. After observing the misery of all sentient beings, and moved to compassion, he made 48 vows in which he promissed not to attain enlightment until he established this Pure Land where all could be freed from their sufferings. He practised for many eons until he accomplished all his vows. Amitabha is Sanscrit, literally meaning boundless light and boundless life. He is one of the five Dhyani Buddhas of Mahayana Buddhism. Together with his two companions, Avalokiteshwara and Mahasthampraptta, they are known as the Western Trinity. Here Buddha is represented in meditation with the hands together in Samadhi mudra. He usually faces the west.
