O nome ''Amitabha'' significa “Luz Infinita”. A Sabedoria Discriminadora de Amitabha combate o veneno das paixões – todos os desejos, a cobiça, a ganância e a luxúria. Com essa sabedoria, o discípulo distingue os seres separadamente, mas reconhece cada ser como uma expressão individual do Um.
In the mandala of the Dhyani Buddhas, Amitabha is positioned to the West. His color is rose (red), the color of the setting sun. He rules over the element of fire and personifies the skandha of perception. Thus, the eye and the faculty of seeing are associated with Amitabha. The peacock with “eyes” on its plumes is his throne-bearer. The peacock symbolizes grace.
