阿弥陀佛
BUDDHA
AMITABHA
Having accomplished his vows,
Dharmakara reigned as the Buddha
Amitabha in the Western Paradise,
called Sukhavati, the Pure Land.
When not depicted alone, Amitabha
is often portrayed with two
assistants: Avalokitesvara on the
left and Mahasthamaprapta on the
right, representing compassionate
and wisdom respectively.
