Amoghadarshin ( Sanskrit अमोघदर्शिन् , Amoghadarśin Infallible Gaze ) is one of the Bodhisattvas in Buddhism .

He is considered to be one of the little-known Bodhisattvas, since he only appeared twice in the Nishannayogavali of the 11th / 12th centuries in classical Buddhist scriptures . Century living Lama Abhayakaragupta is mentioned. The first time he appears like the Adibuddha Akshobhya and is accordingly assigned to his family ( Kula ). In the second mention he appears yellow, in his right hand he is holding a lotus flower, the left hand is on his hip.
