- Item #: 41300
This ornately detailed Buddha sits in The Gesture of Meditation (Samadhi Mudra), with both hands resting on the lap, palms upwards. Known as Amitabha, he is the most ancient among the five Dhyani (or Transcendental) Buddhas, which guard the five directions (north, east south, west, and center). The word Amitabha translates as Boundless Light, or Incomprehensible.
Buddhists usually place figures of Buddhas and Bodhisattvas on their altars. Bowing and offering incense at these altars expresses the desire to manifest, within ourselves, the great spiritual qualities of the statues.
