What is the meaning of "Amitabha" in Buddhism?

We often hear Buddhist monks whisper four words in TV dramas when they meet outsiders. But when did you know the true meaning of these four words? Let's take a look today. Amitabha is the name of the enlightened person with boundless merits, just like we have our own names, it is a symbol representing ourselves. Amitabha, not from Sanskrit, is a simplification of Amitabha or Amitabha Yus. Just like people have other names, Amitabha has thirteen titles, twelve of which are related to "light" and one is related to life span. The former is called "Infinite Light Buddha" and the latter is called "Infinite Life Buddha".

Many people in the world often read "Amitabha in the south", but they don't know what it means. Even some old people have read Amitabha Namo for decades, but they don't even know what Amitabha Namo is. If you don't know what "there is no Amitabha in the south" means, just saying "there is no Amitabha in the south" can be called superstition; And those who don't know what "Amitabha Nanwu" is and say that it is superstitious for others to read "Amitabha Nanwu" are also superstitious. Its essence is the same blind faith.

"Buddha" means the awakened one. An enlightened person is a Buddha. When you are conscious, you are the Buddha. Therefore, the Buddha is not in the sky, the Buddha is on the ground, and the Buddha is in the heart; Buddha is not the embodiment of superstition, but the title of enlightened person. Amitabha, also known as "Amitabha" or "Amitabha", refers to an enlightened person with boundless merits-"Tathagata", namely "Sakyamuni". So amitabha is also called Buddha Buddha. When we pay tribute to the awakened one, learn from the awakened one, turn over a new leaf, accumulate virtue and do good. To learn from Amitabha, be kind. If you are conscious, compassionate, tolerant and generous, you will deviate from things and struggle, "be kind to others, be kind to yourself" and "cultivate wisdom and music."

"Nanwu" means return and respect. The popular explanation of Amitabha in Nanwu is: Pay tribute to Amitabha (pay tribute to Tathagata)! However, apart from the narrow interpretation, Amitabha Namwu has a broad meaning: to pay tribute to all people who are conscious. Amitabha, with great will, realized the western paradise and achieved the righteous and solemn merits of the pure land Buddha and Bodhisattva. Among the solemn merits of righteousness, the solemn merits of pure land are the solemn merits of retribution, and the solemn merits of bodhisattvas such as Amitabha are the solemn merits of retribution. The pure land achieved by Amitabha is based on righteousness and solemnity, and the theory of past lives and its ode are written by the Buddha in recent times.
