Description: Amitabha Buddha, Buddha of Infinite Light, is a celestial buddha in Mahayana Buddhism. Amitabha is the principal buddha in Pure Land Buddhism, mainly practiced in East Asia. Amitabha created his Pure Land called Sukhavati, where as part of his vows to become a buddha (his eighteenth vow), everyone is guaranteed into his Pure Land if they call upon his name as few as ten times. Visualizing Amitabha?s Pure Land and reciting his name during meditation, and reciting his name upon death, are the techniques used to be reborn in the Pure Land. Amitabha?s statue is often shown him seated in meditation holding an alms bowl with both hands. There is a mark on the bottom of the base. Size: 8 x 4 1/2 in
