- "Amitābha (Sanskrit pronunciation: [ɐmɪˈtaːbʱɐ]), also known as Amitāyus, is a celestial buddha according to the scriptures of Mahayana Buddhism.
Amitābha is the principal buddha in Pure Land Buddhism, a branch of East Asian Buddhism. In Vajrayana Buddhism, Amitābha is known for his longevity attribute, magnetising Western attributes of discernment, pure perception and purification of the aggregates with a deep awareness of emptiness of all phenomena. According to these scriptures, Amitābha possesses infinite merit resulting from good deeds over countless past lives as a bodhisattva named Dharmākara. Amitābha means "Infinite Light", and Amitāyus means "Infinite Life" so Amitābha is also called "The Buddha of Immeasurable Light and Life"." - (en.wikipedia.org 11.08.2021) - Entity Encoding
