bronze Amitayus Buddha seated in meditation on a lotus throne; finely carved,
highly detailed and excellently finished with hand chasing on the face and hair
and foliate patterns in the robes, the face serenely alert. The surface contrasts
the dark bronze patina with passages of gleaming gold still extant in the embellishments,
as well as mineral and malachite deposits.

Amitayus
is the most well known and popular of the five Dhyani Buddhas and communicates
the supreme power and energy of nature with gentleness, openness, and purity.
By meditating on him, the disease of delusion becomes the wisdom of discernment.
He holds a bowl of immortality nectar, and in conformity with his dhyana mudra
presents his essential message of meditation, inviting us to withdraw our external
senses and perceptions inward into higher states of meditative concentration.
