Crystal Buddha, Amitabha Buddha, Present Mindfulness

The Collection: Buddha Sculptures, Buddhas of the Three Treasures

Design Concept:

The Buddhas of the Three Worlds are widely worshipped in Mahayana Buddhism. They serve as a constant reminder to practice goodness in body, speech, and mind; to cherish the present moment and everyone we meet; and to regard everything that happens in life as a blessing, bringing joy, peace and security. These three images, each seated in the lotus posture on a lotus throne, are based on the Buddhas of the Three Worlds in the Main Hall at Fo Guang Shan in Taiwan. 

On the left is Amitabha, who presides over the Western Pure Land; he is making the wish-granting gesture with his right hand and holding a lotus stand with his right hand. Amitabha (Unlimited Light or Unlimited Life) is commonly depicted holding a lotus, representing rebirth inside a lotus in his Western Pure Land; he functions as a savior who ushers the faithful out of samsara (the endless cycle of birth and death) and into his heavenly realm characterized by optimal conditions for the attainment of enlightenment. Thus worship of Amitabha is aimed at attaining rebirth in his pure land, where final liberation is expected.

琉璃三宝佛，一身澄明，法相慈悲圆满，亦称为“三世佛”，是大乘佛教的主要崇敬对象。三宝佛是一种时刻的提醒，善心善念善行，珍惜当下，珍惜身边的人，身边的事是一种无限广阔的美好祝福与祈愿，吉祥喜乐，平平安安。艺术家以佛光山「大雄宝殿」三宝佛法相为本，恭敬制作以琉璃为材质的随身三宝佛。所谓的三宝佛：中间是释迦牟尼佛，双手作禅定印。左边是阿弥陀佛，左手作接引印，右手持莲花台。右边是药师佛，手作接引印，另一手持摩尼珠，祈愿人人平安、吉祥处处

(左) 阿弥陀佛，意译为无量光佛、无量寿佛。别名甘露王或甘露王如来。造型中的阿弥陀佛，被安置于释迦牟尼佛的右边，结跏趺坐于莲臺上，掌中托着一座莲台，表示接引众生往生西方极乐净土，在莲花中化生之意。佛教认为，阿弥陀佛主要是以其愿力，引渡众生到极乐世界，脱离苦难的轮回，故亦号“接引佛”。祈祷阿弥陀佛，以求长寿及生命的自在解脱。
