Amogha-siddhi Buddha:
Amogha has two words
combined such as A and mogha. Mogha means useless and failings and if we keep A
before mogha it becomes opposite meaning. Then it means from use less to
usefulness and unfailing. Amogha and Vishnu means same thing. Vishnu is made by
Vish and Anu. Vish means poison or useless and Anu means nectar or useful.
Vishnu is the god who makes impossible to possible. Siddhi means
accomplishment, achievement and perfection. Amogha siddhi means unfailing
achieved wisdom.
He is all accomplishing
wisdom (Newari sanskrit: Krityanusthan Gyan). He is Buddha of air element. Air
is always moving which never stops. Air makes our mind playful. It brings
happiness or sadness anytime suddenly. Mind is so playful that it plays all
types of thinking, imaging, planning etc. It is playing on all types of good
and bad subjects. It has power to change good to bad and bad to good. We should
always choose for good one. It can make us god by good thinking, compassion,
mercy and patience. It can spoil us as demon as anger, jealousy, pride, envy
etc. It can teach us from the knowledge of past happened, awareness, suggestion
etc. It can take care as parents by protecting us from dangers. Air element begins the activity to achieve knowledge.
Perfection is possible only
if we are experiencing. Experiencing is not an easy job. We have to try again
and again until we get succeed. Even though we lose we have to take knowledge
from it so that we can improve it for next time. This Buddha always gives us
new chances to be good. As parents give pardon to their children for any
mistakes, if someone repents from his mistake then this Buddha gives
opportunities to change from bad to good. All the duties are opportunities to
gain merit and to be good. Whenever we get chance to do good for others we have
to do it same time without selfishness.
This Buddha is taking care
of all creatures as his children. He is teaching and showing us good paths to
get peace and pleasure. But some children do not listen to parental guiding and
teaching. So, he is very patient that any time the children repent from the
mistake he gives pardon and new chance to follow good path. Some children want
to learn by experiencing themselves. After they do mistake he again tries to
teach them and does not blame them. They may become in good after. Parent
always hopes for good.
He is Buddha of activities
so he is symbolized by vishwa vajra. He is always practicing for accomplishing
the wisdom. He knows all dimensional knowledge. He is gaining knowledge by
experiencing. He knows wisdom of being gods, demons, teacher and parents and
all. Whatever we make in our mind we are practicing for achieving it. Universal
activity is the maker of all Buddhas because he gives life to lifeless essence.
Activity of breathing gives sensation to
our soul to wake up from sleep.
This world is the best of
all possible worlds. All activities are happening for being best. We have to
hope for good always. It is better to adjust or adapt in this world. We can
find heaven after doing good works and hell doing bad works in this world. So, our purpose should be for being good from
bad.
He is placed in the north of
stupa. He is facing towards north. He is riding on Garuda (Mythical Vulture)
who can see poisonous snake from far distance. He is only one Buddha that sits
on multi headed snake bed. This means he finds the way to be comfortable even
in the unfavorable conditions. Positive thinking keeps us comfort, content and
happy. Garuda and snake is a big enemy but they are together with this Buddha. If
snake harms the innocents then Garuda punishes the snake. This also means that
even though our mind is thinking positive and negative, we have to decide for
positive thinking. He is represented by nose as a sensational organ which can
smell. And which is used for breathing. His right hand is in Abhayavara mudra
which means granting for no danger and fear. He is always protecting all the
innocents. He is also protecting all those people who repent from their
mistakes.
