Our golden Amitabha statue is fully gilded in 24k gold. This special ambience is very appropriate for an Amitabha Buddha because he is known as the “Buddha of Infinite Light”. Additionally, Amitabha had initially vowed to remain a bodhisattva until he had created his own Pure Land. He was finally successful and he now has a Pure Land called “Sukhavati”.
This Pure Land is a special place of sonorous delights and visual bliss. To gain admittance devotees are only required to recite his mantra or say his name. Upon admission devotees are provided protection from the suffering. Additionally, they are given guidance and encouragement until they have reached full enlightenment.
