The present figure depicts Amitabha, the principal deity of Pure Land Buddhism and the Western Buddha among the Five Tathagatas. His name means 'immeasurable light', and he is also known as Wuliangguang (Infinite Light) and Wuliangshou (Infinite Life), reflecting his associations with longevity and pure perception. Believed to reside in Sukhavati, the Western Pure Land or 'Pure and Happy Land', Amitabha is conventionally depicted seated in meditation with the hands resting in the lap in , as on the present figure. Devotion to Amitabha occupies a central place in Pure Land Buddhism, with the promise of rebirth in through faith and worship. As Meher McArthur notes in , London, 2002, p.39, the teaches that mortals may attain rebirth in the Pure Land through worship of Amitabha. This salvific promise derives from the vow he made while still a bodhisattva to save all sentient beings upon attaining enlightenment.
