Amitabha or Amituofo in Chinese is a Heavenly Buddha. In the Temple, the Amithaba Buddha is represented by the newest and largest statue on display. The 10 meter-high nearly 30 feet bronze statue weighing ten tons. it was brought disassembled from China and patiently reassembled in Foz do Iguaçu in 2014. Many thousands of years and world systems ago, Amithaba was a king who renounced his kingdom and became a monk. He decided to become a Buddha with the intention of creating a `Budakshetra` – a Buddhafield, a paradise through his deeds and thoughts over countless lives. Rebirth in the Paradise of Amitabha is the main desire of devotees of Pure Land Buddhism.
