Amogsiddhi Buddha

About Amogsiddhi Buddha

Amoghsiddhi Buddha is the last among the Five Buddhas. He represents the All Accomplishing Wisdom (skt. Krityanusthan jnana). He also represents the purified form of jealosy. When one realizes All Accomplishing Wisdom one can perform all the Buddha activity without pre-meditation. This happens spontaneously.

Amoghsiddhi is green in colour. He is represented in the stupa facing to the north. He rides on Garuda symbolizing that he can detect the presence of serpent-like delusion from a distance. A serpent with seven hoods and an umbrella is depicted on the background. He exhibits abhayamudra showing that by following bodhisattva path fearlessness is gained.

Like Ratna Sambhava Buddha, the vows, activity and deeds of Amogh Siddhi Buddha are not extant in Mahayana Buddhist literature. It is however said that cultivators relying on this Buddha�fs protection will achieve accomplishments in Buddhist affairs and worldly matters and will perfect the work benefitting sentient beings.

Amogh Siddhi Buddha alone has a canopy of snakes over his head. He sometimes resembles Shakyamuni Buddha with nine headed Naga king Mucalinda in paintings.

According to tantric text, this Buddha is said to be originated from seed syllable green �lham. He is also said to be the embodiment of volition (skt. Sanskara) and Air element (skt. Vayu).
