An Amitabha Buddha thangka is a traditional Tibetan Buddhist painting that depicts Amitabha, the Buddha of Infinite Light. Amitabha is a central figure in Mahayana Buddhism, particularly in Pure Land Buddhism, where he is venerated as the Buddha who presides over the Pure Land, a paradise where beings can be reborn and attain enlightenment.
In the thangka, Amitabha is usually shown seated in the lotus position, symbolizing meditation and spiritual attainment. His body is often depicted in a deep red or golden hue, representing the infinite light of his compassion and the warmth of his boundless love for all beings. Amitabha’s face is serene and peaceful, conveying the calm and compassion that he embodies.
