These small statues are finely detailed and display a beautiful finishing. The Amitayus Buddha is the Buddha of a long life. In Buddhist tradition we know many different kinds of Buddhas, whom the meditator identifies him/herself with. The specific Buddha is visualised during meditation, and so the one who meditates becomes one with this Buddha. Buddha Amitayus (in Tibet: Tse Pag Med) is a manifestation of Amitabh, the Buddha of limitless light. Amitayus holds a vase with immortality nectar in his hands. This makes him the Buddha of long living. This is ideal for Buddhists, because thus they may work longer on liberation of others and him/herself. The initiate will receive the mantra of Amitayus from his Lama, and he will recite this regularly and with the right intention.
