As it is written: „With bad advisors forever left behind, from paths of evil he departs for eternity, soon to see the Buddha of Infinite Light and perfect Samantabhadra`s supreme vows." Buddha Amitabha (Jpn. Amida-ji, tib. Öpame) represents Lotus family in the mandala of five Dhyani Buddhas, coresponding with W part of the mandala. His Pure land is Sukhavati (tib. Dewa chen), Pure land of Infinite Bliss. Buddha Amitabha is venerated by all schools of Mahayana schools (Tien-Tai, Zen, Pure land) and Vajrayana schools. Human beings can be reborn in Sukhavati by sincerely (single minded) recitation of His name, particulary at the time of death. In China, Japan and other counrties there are many Amitabha Buddha temples with standing Amitabha, offering helping hand to all devoties. There are mudras (hand gestures) of rebirth in Sukhavati. In Vajrayana Buddhism there is beautiful prayer for rebirth in Dewa chen. Practice of Phowa-transference of consciousness at the time of death has precise instructions about Amitabha Buddha being present on the crown of one´s head. In 21 Verses of praise to Tara there is this verse about Amitabha : „From her (Arya Tara´s) hair-knot Buddha Amitabha constantly pour down streams of light." Thinley Norbu Rinpoche wrote in his Offering praise: „All fortunate beings are guided on the miraculous path to the lotus field of Buddha Amitabha by the blessings of your divine, magical activity." Nirmanakaya Buddha Padmasambhava is the emanation of Amitabha. Pure land Buddhists are remarkable for their sincerity, purity & devotion to Amitabha. Daily chanting of NAMO AMITABHA (pronounced Namo Amitofo in Chinese)
brings peace of mind, simplicity, concentration & separation from samsara. This inspired chanting was provided by the Buddha Edu. foundation in Taiwan (CD for free distribution). It helped us to prepare this Visual Dharma to benefit all. Pure land Buddhists practice such chanting during 7-day meditation retreat. Chanting is not interrupted by any other speech. It is very effective practice to pacify wandering thoughts . This obstacle is experienced by most modern people. NAMO AMITABHA chanting helps dying and dead beings. Instead of being sorrowful & confused at the time of death of your relatives & friends, try to chant NAMO AMITABHA for them while listening and viewing this Visual Dharma. The aim is to help dying or dead being to be reborn in Amitabha`s Pure land from where he/she will never be reborn in samsara again!
PRACTICAL INSTRUCTIONS :
1.Become a vegetarian for the rest of your life. Don´t use any intoxicants. Purify your body, speech, mind & resulting bad habits. Prayer and recitation of NAMO AMITABHA during your life will help you greately at the time of your death. Amitabha Buddha promissed to accept to His Pure land every being who sincerely recites His name. After being reborn in Sukhavati one will continue practice toward complete Enlightenment. In Sukhavati there are perfect Teacher, perfect time and perfect circumstances. Samantabhadra (Jpn. Fugen, Vn. Hien) is Universal worthy Bodhisattva, personifying the transcendental practices and vows of the Buddhas. Each of his 10 vows should be put into practice without interruption. 10 Dharmic activities are connected with these Vows.
