Amitabha Buddha Thangka Painting is a traditional Tibetan Buddhist handpainted art. It celebrates the figure of Amitabha Buddha - one of the five Dhyani Buddhas in Vajrayana Buddhism. Amitabha, also called Amida Buddha, is linked to Pure Land Buddhism, signifying infinite light and boundless compassion. Representations of Amitabha usually depict him in a red or ruby-red hue, making specific hand mudras while meditating. Other symbols and attributes are included in the painting, such as a lotus flower, bowl and other sacred items, offer additional religious meanings in the Tibetan Buddhist culture.
Amitabha Buddha Thangka art is held sacred in the Pure Land tradition of Buddhism, used for prayer, meditation, and related rituals. These paintings are a common sight in Tibetan monasteries, temples, and in Buddhist homes. Through seeing the Thangka image, practitioners may strive to connect with Amitabha's compassion, and work to be reborn in his realm to reach enlightenment.
