Aged Red Tibetan Buddha Statue in Meditation Pose

He is the "The Buddha of Infinite Light." Amitabha lives in the Pure Land of the Western Heaven in an existence of limitless and infinite happiness. This Tibet style Buddha statue is finished in antique red and depicts the one they claim was once a king who renounced his throne and became a monk.

His empathy for the misery of all human beings moved him to make 48 vows, promises to delay his enlightenment until he could establish the Pure Land where all could be liberated from their human suffering. It was centuries before he could complete all these vows. Along with Avalokiteshwara and Mahasthampraptta, he forms the Western Trinity. In this Buddha statue he is seen in the meditation pose, hands together in the Samadhi mudra. This gorgeous antique red statue of Buddha is a delicate object of beauty perfect for a home decorated with Asian decor. The statue should be faced west.
