Amitabha Buddha Thangka Introduction To The Thangka : Amitabha is Amitayus, the great savior Buddha, in Mahayana Buddhism, notably in the Pure Land sects. Amitabha was never as popular as a savior figure in Tibet and Nepal as he was in East Asia. He is still regarded as one of the five "self-born" buddhas (Dhyani-buddhas) who have existed in perpetuity. Because he bestows immortality, Amitabha is known as Amitayus, or "Infinite Life."

He is shown wearing decorations and wearing a crown, carrying the ambrosia vase from which the eternal life diamonds descend.How to take care of your thangka? -Hang your thangka in a traditional silk brocade-Regular Inspection of your thangka; examine the borders and all attachments.-Keep thangkas covered when they are on display but not in use.-Rotate thangkas between display and storage on a regular basis, two to four time
