Amithaba
Buddha from the Japanese tradition. This is the most popular Buddha style in
Japan. Amithaba is one of the five Dhyani Buddhas, symbolizing the wisdom of
distinguishing awareness and secret speech. His colour of visualization is red,
and he is associated with the throat chakra. Amithaba's mantra is: Om
Ah Amithaba Hum. In many homes, one can find
nowadays a special meditation area, with a favourite statue of the Buddha,
flowers, candles, scents and pictures of close ones. It is a place where we may
come to remember who we really are, and to meditate.
