(Sanskrit). ‘He of infallible accomplishment’, one of the five Jinas. Normally depicted iconographically as a green saṃbhoga-kāya Buddha associated with the northern quarter, he is also viewed as the embodiment of the All-accomplishing Awareness, one of the five awarenesses, and as the lord of the Action Family (see five Buddha families). He is said to have a Pure Land of his own but this attracted little devotional interest in India or elsewhere.
Amoghasiddhi (Sanskrit, unfailing power), is the fifth dhyanibuddha (representations of the five qualities of the Buddha).
Also see: Shakyamuni, Akshobhya, Ratnasambhava and Amitabha.
Amoghasiddhi is the Buddha of the north, his color is green, and he aids in the release of jealousy and envy. His right hand is in the mudra of fearlessness, which one needs in all aspects of life especially that of the spirit. The same mudra also represents protection, again, what we all need throughout life, not only from others, but from ourselves as well, As ignorance and delusion have a way of manipulating our perceptions to suit our needs instead of seeing the truth to benefit others. With that in mind, Amoghasiddhi is the guide that leads one to the Bodhisattvas path, with fearlessness and protection from adversary. His mantra is, "OM AMOGHASIDDHI AH".
