【An introduction to the dharmalaksana or sacred physical attributes of Amitayus Buddha】:

Amitayus Buddha, also known as Western Tathagata of Immeasurable Life. He manifiests as a one head and two arm entity in red skin; the hair is rolled up in a topknot and wears a precious crown adorned with five Buddhas carved in precious metal and jewelry; and He`s cladded in a celestial upper garment and in a silk fabric lower skirt. In addition, He wears a precious jewel necklace as the centerpiece. Overall, all these manifestations are attributable to the integrity and solemnty of an all-round Dharmakaya Buddha. With a Longevity Treasure Vial placed in the center of His right palm, His both hands form a Dhyana mudra resting atop His knees. His feet double over forming a Vajra lotus position on top of a lotus dharma wheel. Amitayus Buddha is surrounded by four dakinis of four vajrayana dharma practices: namely, purification, enhancement, enthrallment and subjugation, whereby the essentials, longevity, meritorious privileges, wisdom and other virtues can be derived from the five elements: earth, water, fire, air and void.

【The benefits of practicing Amitayus sadhana】:

According to the buddhist scriptures: reciting the mantra of Amitayus Buddhan can extend one`s life span and enhance one`s merits and wisdom; can avert accidental tragic death; can exonerate a person of all negative karmas; and can ascentain a deathless feat or be reborn in the Western Paradise.
Practicing the sadhana of Amitayus Buddha can also rid oneself of diseases; can lengthen one`s life span; can improve one`s positive and auspicious karmic affinity with others; can eliminate one`s negative karmic affinity with others; and can bring prosperity to one`s endeavors in the secular world.
Amitabha, Usnisha Vijaya, White Tara are the epitome of Great Compassion and Mercy and can thus impart health and security and felicity to people. They are collectively called the Tri-Longevity Buddhas or the Majestic Trio of Longevity.


【Precious Discourse by Grand Master Lian-Sheng】:

Amitayus Buddha is an embodiment of Amitabha Buddha. His Vial of Longevity Nectar is the hallmark of His being. If you ever have the opportunity to drink the nectar from His Longevity Vial, you will gain longevity and health. Amitayus Buddha can eradicate our calamities and guide the spirits of the deceased to the Pure Land of Buddha. The illuminance of Amitayus Buddha is red and is very profound and far-reaching; it can enhance wisdom and merits; eliminate diseases; increase harmony in families; eradicate all calamities; and banish all enemies on behalf of all sentient beings of concern.
