DESCRIPTION AND DETAILS OF THE SYMBOLS OF THIS PENDANT

BUDDHA AMITABHA

Amitābha, Amitāyus or Amida, in Japanese 阿弥陀, is a Buddha of Mahayana and Vajrayana Buddhism. He reigns over the “Western Pure Land of Bliss” (Sanskrit: Sukhāvatī, Chinese: Xīfāng jílè shìjiè, ja.: saihō goraku sekai 西方極樂世界), a wonderful, pure, perfect world, free from evil and suffering. This pure land, a place of refuge outside the cycle of transmigrations — equivalent to nirvāņa according to certain conceptions — is at the center of the beliefs and practices of the schools of the Pure Land. This Buddha, which is also called the Buddha of Buddhas, is very popular among Mahāyānists, particularly in the Chinese world, Korea, Japan, Tibet, Laos, Cambodia and Vietnam.

BUDDHIST WHEEL OF LIFE

In terms of symbols, the Buddha, seated under the bodhi tree, saw two things. First, he saw a Ferris wheel. This wheel embraces the totality of conditioned existence, it is of the same extent as the cosmos, it contains all living beings. It turns constantly: it turns day and night, it turns life after life, it turns era after era.

We cannot see when it started spinning, and we cannot yet see when it will stop spinning: only a Buddha sees that.

Middle middle The center: The spokes of the wheel converge at the hub. They converge towards the void. And it is thanks to him that the chariot moves forward. A vase is made of clay but it is its emptiness that makes it suitable for its task. A house is made of walls pierced with doors and windows, but it is their emptiness that makes it habitable. Thus, man constructs objects, but it is the void that gives them meaning. It is what is missing that gives the raison d'etre. (Lao Tseu) It is the center that binds and activates the other 8 palaces.
