Amitabha Buddha

Amitabha is the oldest Buddha among the Dhyani Buddhas. He said to dwell in peaceful meditation in Sukhabati heaven. It has a red color that comes from the red syllable HRIH. He represents the cosmic element of Sanjna (name). His vehicle is a peacock. He demonstrates samadhi mudra with both his palms resting on his lap. He has a lotus as his sign. When depicted on the stupa, he always faces the west. He is worshiped to obtain salvation. Sometimes a patra is held in the same posture. Amitabha means “Limitless Light” or Incomprehensible.
