Amitayus Buddha

Amitayus (immeasurable life) is a buddha by status but appears as a peaceful deity rather than as a nirmanakaya form wearing monastic robes and exhibiting the characteristics of a buddha with the thirty-two major and eighty minor marks of perfection. The primary function of Amitayus is to promote long life and health. He belongs to the group known as the Three Long Life Deities. There are also Tantric mandala practices such as the Nine Deity Mandala of Amitayus along with forms of the deity where he is embracing a consort.

Thanks. Always thought Amitabha and Amitayus were the same deity as discussed by a lot of Lamas, as well as some sadhanas that visualize Amitabha but doing Amitayus mantra. Never have I thought to look at the pure lands differences

thank u so much for the study

[@yashdixit3645]

Sir, I read it somewhere that Amitayus is a sambhogkaya of Buddha Amitabh... Is it so????

[@dracokaiser]

Please do a video of prajnaparamita

[@dracokaiser]

So is Amitayus the same as Aparmita?

[@jeffwatt5114]

Yes. Amitayus, Aparamita and Aparimitāyur­jñāna are the three common names for Amitayus Buddha. However, Amitabha Buddha is occasionally referred to as Amitayus in at least one Amitabha Sutra. This has led to some confusion and conflation of the two different entities over the centuries. Please see the Introduction - read.84000.co/translation/toh674.html.

@@jeffwatt5114 definitely can see the confusion indeed
