Garuda, fabulous bird-man of Hindu and then Buddhist mythology, son of Kashyapa and Vinatâ and brother of Aruna, the driver of the chariot of the god Sûrya. It is the vâhana, or mount, of the god Vishnu. He is also considered the king of birds.
In Tibet, Khyung (ཁྱུང) is the Tibetan name for Garuda. Coming from India, he was assimilated to the khading of the Bön religion, the golden-horned eagle. The black garuda is a deity of the Nyingmapa school of Tibetan Buddhism that is held to suppress the affections caused by the naga and spirits of the earth. It is depicted on the Lungta. It is represented in the iconography of Shambhala by Chogyam Trungpa for whom it is associated with great speed and power. Like the phoenix, it rises from the ashes of destruction, it is indestructible.
On the back is designed a wheel of Buddhist life rotating thanks to a high-precision German ball bearing.

In terms of symbols, the Buddha, sitting under the bodhi tree, saw two things. First of all, he saw a Ferris wheel. This wheel embraces the totality of conditioned existence, it is of the same extent as the cosmos, it contains all living beings. It rotates non-stop: it turns day and night, it turns life after life, it turns era after era. We cannot see when it has started to turn, and we cannot for the moment see when it will stop turning: only a Buddha sees this.
The protective windows are made of leuco sapphire like high-end watches.

Amitabha Buddha is the protector of people born under the sign of the dog and the pig.
Amitābha, Amitāyus or Amida is a Buddha of Mahayana and Vajrayana Buddhism. He reigns in the "Pure Western Land of Beatitude" (sk.: Sukhāvatī, ch.: Xīfāng jílè shìjiè, ja.: saihō goraku sekai 西方極樂世界), a wonderful, pure, perfect world, devoid of evil, suffering. This pure land, a place of refuge outside the cycle of transmigrations – or the equivalent of nirvāņa according to some conceptions – is at the center of the beliefs and practices of the pure land schools. This Buddha, also called the Buddha of buddhas, is very popular among Mahāyānists, especially in the Chinese world, Korea, Japan, Tibet and Vietnam.
His name means "Infinite Light" or "He whose splendor is immeasurable".
Anyone who believes in this Buddha is guaranteed to enter Sukhavati, where he will be reborn. Amitâbha is therefore a kind of savior who guarantees an afterlife: everyone can achieve liberation by invoking his name, rather than having to undergo countless rebirths.
In an earlier existence, Amitâbha was a king who, after being in contact with Buddhist teaching, gave up his throne to become the Dharmakara monk. Dharmakara made 48 vows, by which he promised to help those who would follow the path to enlightenment. Through meditation, the monk finally managed to fulfill his vows and became the Buddha Amitâbha.
Having fire as its element, it is associated with twilight and life in the afterlife. It is usually depicted in red, sitting on a lotus flower, or sometimes traveling on the back of a pair of peacocks. His hands make the mudra of meditation, one hand simply resting on the other, his emblem is the lotus, the symbol of spiritual rebirth, and he is associated with the direction of the west.
Although he was originally from India, it was in China and Japan, where he bears the name of Amida (the Buddha who inspired the "Pure Land" school of Buddhism), that Amitâbha was the object of the greatest veneration. In the eighth century, the Indian monk Padmasambhava introduced the cult of Amitâbha to Tibet, where he attracted many disciples.
