At risk of being seen as a heathen "bowing down to wood and stone" ( 😀 ) here is a representation of Amida, the Buddha of Infinite Light, central to Pure Land Buddhism....
The full title is "Amida Looking Back". Her hands are in the mudra of teaching, of exhortation to come to her, yet her head is turned, her first thought for those who do not, or cannot, come. For whatever reason.
As Shinran said:- "Amida saves even the good person, how much more the evil person"
