His upper right hand holds a crystal rosary, representing continuous compassionate activity, while his upper left hand holds a white lotus, symbolizing purity arising unstained from suffering.

To Amitābha’s right stands Vajrapāṇi in peaceful form, embodying enlightened power and protection. His body is deep blue, symbolizing indestructible strength and unwavering resolve. He stands in a posture mirroring Avalokiteśvara, adorned with ornaments and flowing scarves. His right hand holds a vajra raised to shoulder level, signifying the power to overcome obstacles, while his left hand holds a lotus stem at the heart, expressing that enlightened power is guided by compassion and wisdom.

Together, this sacred triad represents the harmonious union of wisdom (Amitābha), compassion (Avalokiteśvara), and enlightened power (Vajrapāṇi). This thangka serves as a powerful support for Pure Land practice, devotion, and meditation, cultivating peace, confidence, and the aspiration toward liberation.
