Amitabha was never as popular as a savior figure in Tibet and Nepal as he was in East Asia, but he is respected as one of the five "self-born" buddhas (Dhyani-buddhas) who have existed forever.

He is shown wearing decorations and wearing a crown, carrying the ambrosia vase from which the eternal life diamonds descend.
