Sourced Overview Evidence

This rare image depicts the Crimson Crystal Buddha of Infinite Life, or Red Amida, with a red body; it is more common to see Red Amida with a red robe. His crown contains the Five Wisdom Buddhas who represent different aspects of wisdom. He is supported by a lotus flower with five- and single-pronged <em>vajras,</em> ritual implements derived from ancient Indian weapons. Their selection is particular to specific deities and rites and based on sacred texts.
