Its compact format supports close, everyday presence while preserving the solemn, luminous character distinctive to Black-Gold thangka art.

Deity Introduction

Amitabha Buddha (also known as the Buddha of Infinite Light) is one of the central Buddhas in Mahayana Buddhism and a key figure of the “Three Buddhas of the Three Times” in many Himalayan and East Asian traditions. He is revered as the presiding Buddha of the Western Pure Land (Sukhavati), representing boundless compassion and luminous wisdom. Amitabha devotion is widely practiced as a path of faith, aspiration, and mindful remembrance.

Spiritual Meaning & Practice Logic

Amitabha Buddha is traditionally associated with clarity of mind, gentle steadiness, and a compassionate orientation toward self and others. In devotional practice, his image supports the cultivation of wholesome intention, inner calm, and the aspiration to live with greater purity and kindness—without making outcome-based promises.

In this lineage, the black ground is used symbolically to evoke emptiness and the primordial nature of reality, while gold is applied by hand in extremely fine linework.
