Amitabha Buddha emanates red ruby light, symbolising love and compassion. Amitabha's radiant form warms and pacifies the hearts of all who gaze at him. As head of the lotus family, he manifests boundless compassion, protecting and welcoming all into his pure land, the western paradise from where the attainment of enlightenment is certain. Reciting Amitabha's mantra purifies all delusions and removes obstacles caused by one's excessive attachment to material things.
