The Meaning of Amitabha Buddha
Amitabha, whose name means Infinite Light, is one of the most revered Buddhas in Mahayana Buddhism. He is associated with boundless compassion, wisdom and the Western Pure Land of Sukhavati.
In Buddhist tradition, Sukhavati is described as a realm particularly conducive to spiritual practice and progress towards enlightenment.
Amitabha is commonly depicted in meditation, often in red, a colour associated with his Buddha family in Tibetan Buddhist iconography.
