Amitabha- Buddha of Limitless Light
 
 
Amitabha is the Buddha of Limitless Light, and presides over the western Buddha realm of Great Bliss, known as Dewachen. Because of the intensity and power of the vows Amitabha made while a bodhisattva, his pure land is the easiest to be reborn in. There, beings have the optimum circumstances for accelerating on the path to liberation.

Iconography

In Tibetan Buddhism, Amitabha is red in color (red being the color of love, compassion, and emotional energy). His direction is west and so he is envisioned as the (red) setting sun. He is seen as the supreme power and energy of nature, cast on an earthly plain, accessible to all sentient beings. For this reason he is considered one of the most popular of all Dhyani Buddhas.  His unique emblem is the lotus. He is thus associated with the attributes of the lotus: gentleness, openness, and purity.

Mantra: OM AMI DEWA HRI
