Description
Lord Buddha's face conveys a gentle inward expression. Through his knowledge of discriminative wisdom, a Bodhisattva understands the empty nature of all sentient beings and develops great compassion for them. This is the dhyana or meditation of Buddha Amitabha.The whole of the right hand is cradled by the left with an alms bowl resting in his palms. Here the hand gesture, representing meditative equipoise, represents the unity of wisdom and compassion. Lord Buddha is seated in the padmasana or full lotus position atop a throne with a three-tiered lotus flower base.
