It is expressively described as being a joyous world, soft and glowing, filled with the music of birds and the tinkling of trees adorned with precious jewels and garlands of golden bells.
Amitabha sits on a lotus in the midst of a terraced pond, attended by the bodhisattvas ("buddhas-to-be") Avalokiteshvara and Mahasthamaprapta. The newly dead enter into lotus buds, which unfold when the occupants have become entirely purified and have attained enlightenment.

Lotus born -Guru Rinpoche:Padmasambhava means 'Lotus-born', which refers to Guru Rinpoche's birth from a lotus in the land of Oddiyana. Guru Rinpoche, the 'Precious Master', is the founder of Tibetan Buddhism and the Buddha of our time.
Whereas Buddha is known primarily for having taught the teachings of the sutra vehicle, Padmasambhava came into this world, and to Tibet in particular, in order to teach the tantras.
While Buddha Shakyamuni exemplifies the buddha principle, the most important element in the sutrayana path, Padmasambhava personifies the guru principle, the heart of Vajrayana Buddhism, and he is therefore known as the 'second Buddha' (Tib. སངས་རྒྱས་གཉིས་པ་, sangyé nyipa).

Thousand Arms Padmapani- Buddha of Compassion:Thousand-armed Avalokiteśvara
One prominent Buddhist story tells of Avalokiteśvara vowing never to rest until he had freed all sentient beings from saṃsāra. Despite strenuous effort, he realizes that many unhappy beings were yet to be saved. After struggling to comprehend the needs of so many, his head splits into eleven pieces. Amitābha, seeing his plight, gives him eleven heads with which to hear the cries of the suffering. Upon hearing these cries and comprehending them, Avalokiteśvara tries to reach out to all those who needed aid, but found that his two arms shattered into pieces. Once more, Amitābha comes to his aid and invests him with a thousand arms with which to aid the suffering multitudes.
