NAMO AMITABHA -108 Repetitions -Nam Mô A Di Đà Phật- Namo Amituofo- 南无阿弥陀佛
Amitabha Buddha in Pure Land (Ultimate Bliss)
Namo Amitabha, Sanskrit words, 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 also recite or call upon his name 10 times by the time of dying will be born in the Land of Ultimate Bliss with the reception by Amitabha Buddha.

Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss: This is the Buddha Land of Amitabha Buddha. In Amitabha Sutra, there is full description about this Pure Land. This is the world of utmost joy without suffering. With the spiritual power of Amitabha Buddha, all beings in this world will understand Buddhism easily and practise diligently, and attain enlightenment eventually. Therefore by reciting Amitabha Buddha's name, Buddhist followers hope that they will be born in this Pure Land after their lives on earth.

The Buddha has perfected great kindness, compassion, joy, and renunciation. Having attained blessings and wisdom, his unselfish wish is to lead all living beings to attain them. He has vowed that all living beings who recite his name will realize Buddhahood.

The two words "Amita Buddha" are inconceivable, and within the Buddhadharma, Amita Buddha is a "great Dharma King."

Those who recite the Buddha's name have good roots. All you need to do is recite, and without spending money or effort, you too can attain limitless life and light.

"But isn't this a bit too much of a bargain?" someone may ask.

The reason this simple method is so efficacious is that in former lives, when Amita Buddha was cultivating the Way, He practiced many methods and underwent thousand of tens of thousands of bitter experiences and found them difficult to bring to accomplishment. Accordingly, he made forty-eight great vows, one of which states that any person who recites his name will be assured of rebirth in the Western Land and the attainment of orthodox enlightenment. Until this vow is fulfilled, Amita Buddha himself will not realize Buddhahood.

Our recitation is like sending a fax to Amitabha in the West. At the end of our lives, the Bodhisattvas will guide us to rebirth in the Western Pure Land.

Morning and night, in motion and stillness, at all times you can recite. While moving you can recite and change the motion into stillness; when still you can recite and turn the stillness into motion. When there is neither motion nor stillness, your fax to Amitabha has gotten through and you've received his response.

If you maintain your recitation with undivided attention morning and night without stopping, you may recite to the point that you don't know that you are walking when you walk, you don't feel thirsty when you are thirsty, and you don't experience hunger when you are hungry, you don't know you are cold in freezing weather, and you don't feel the warmth when you are warm. People and dharmas are empty, and you and Amita Buddha become one. "Amita Buddha is me and I am Amita Buddha." The two cannot be separated. Recite single-mindedly and sincerely without false thoughts. Pay no attention to worldly concerns. When you don't know the time and don't know the day, you may arrive at a miraculous state.
