Amoghasiddhi Buddha the Fifth Dhyani Buddha

Amoghasiddhi is the fifth Dhyani Buddha in order.  His left hand lies open on his lap and the right exhibits the Abhaya Mudra.  He represents the cosmic element of Samskar (Conformation).  He is of green colour and his symbol is the viswa vajra or the double thunderbolt.  He always faces the north.  He is the embodiment of the rainy season.  Sometimes a serpent with seven heads forms the background as an umbrella.  Therefore, in front of his shrines is found a small square pit which is meant for the snake.  His vehicle is garuda.
