Amitabha - HRIHobservation is the superior, discriminating and enlightened mind
that is attained in the process of going from abstract to form. The
eyes represent observation. Amitabha's throne is on the back of a
peacock with its feathers full
of eyes. The analysis of
observation is completely
intuitive and not from
reasoning, because it is based
on the mind of equality,
having combined all the
correlations of the universe.
On the plane of the individual
and action, the seed-syllable
“Hrih” becomes alive, and
expands in the Dharani “Om
Ma Ni Pad Me Hum”. This is
the magical force of timeless
reaction, the voice of
innermost feelings, and of the
Bodhi Dharma
(Enlightenment doctrine),
which comes out directly,
forcefully and automatically. Hrih is the seed of the Bodhisattva
virtue, and of altruistic actions towards humanity salvation. It is
the enlightened mind of Vajra-Prajna-Paramita Sutra.
Amoghasiddhi represents the intelligence of perfect action.
His bija is “Ah”, symbolizing action. If “Om” is the Way of
Universality, and “Hum” is the Way of Integration, the
achievement of life, then “Ah” is perfect action. The prayer flags
in the Tibetan monasteries have “Om Ah Hum” which represents
essence, speech, and nature.
