Discover the meaning of Aparmita, also called Amitayus, who is worshipped as the bestower of longevity. This statue can be depicted as either a crowned Buddha or a Bodhisattva, and therefore wears rich robes and the thirteen celestial ornaments. In a classical Buddha sitting posture that exudes calm and serenity, Aparmita holds his hands in Dhyana Mudra while holding the Ambrosia Vase, his signature emblem. This magnificent vase is ornately decorated and from its lid hang four strings of pearls, symbols of timelessness.
The Lamaist ceremony for achieving longevity is a fascinating fusion of Buddhist spirituality and cultural practice.
