Description

Amitayus is the Buddha of Eternal Life, along with the Goddess White Tara and God of Victory (Ushnishvijaya). The long life Buddha is extremely popular in many Northern Buddhist countries, since his special boon is to prolong the life span. Many Buddhists commission the images of Amitayus Buddha in both sculpture and painting in order to gain merit and assure a long life for them or for someone else. Buddha Amitayus belongs to the yoga Tantra. His colour is red and he always holds the long-life vase that sometimes has an Ashoka tree branch. The vase also contains water, saffron, nectar pills, and food of the gods that confers immortality.  Amitayus is distinguished from Buddha Amitabha who is always depicted in D12hyana-mudra.
