Amitābha
Amitābha (Skt.). The
Buddha ‘Infinite Light’, also known as
Amitāyus (Infinite Life). One of the five
Jinas, he is normally depicted iconographically as a red
saṃbhoga-kāya Buddha associated with the western quarter. He is also viewed as the embodiment of Discriminating Awareness, one of the five awarenesses, and as the lord of the Lotus Family (see
five Buddha families). Early
Mahāyāna devotion to Amitābha gave rise to a belief in his
Pure Land, known as
Sukhāvatī.
