(Amitabha, Sanskrit word, literally means boundless light and boundless life. He is the Buddha in the Land of Ultimate Bliss (Pure Land), in which all beings enjoy unbounded happiness. Amitabha has forty-eight great vows to establish and adorn his Pure Land. People who recite or call upon his name at the time of dying will be born in the Land of Ultimate Bliss with the reception by Amitabha.)
