Buddha Amitabha is the most popular Buddha, right after Buddha Shakyamuni, in the Tibetan, Mongolian, ancient Tangut (Xi Xia), Chinese and Japanese traditions of Mahayana Buddhism. 'Amitabha' means "boundless light". He is the Buddha in the Sukhavati (Land of Ultimate Bliss or Pure Land), in which all beings enjoy unbounded happiness. In the Amitabha Sutra, there is full description about this Pure Land. This is the world of utmost joy without suffering. With the spiritual power of Buddha Amitabha, all beings in this world will understand Buddhism easily and practise diligently, and attain enlightenment eventually. Therefore by reciting Buddha Amitabha's name, Buddhist followers hope that they will be born in this Pure Land after their lives on earth.
