Amithaba
17th century | Galerie Peter Hardt
Buddha Amithaba belongs to the group of Dhyani buddhas. These epitomise the fundamental philosophical principles of Buddhism. They convert the causes for staying inside the cycle of rebirth – ignorance, hatred, pride, desire, greed – into their antidote wisdoms. Their qualities may be experienced through meditation.
