Amitabha Mantra

The recitation of Mantras in Chinese Pure Land Buddhism is a common part of devotions. The Mantra links us with the essence of the Buddha. The Amitabha Mantra is most often recited in the body of the evening chanting liturgy. One may transfer the merits of the recitation of the Mantra to all sentient beings for their liberty and re-birth into the Pure Land. Recited with sincerity and devotion the Manta brings great blessing.

南无 阿弥多婆夜

阿弥利哆 毗迦兰多

This Mantra can be recited 3, 5, 7, 21 or 108 times at morning or evening devotions.
The recitation of this mantra with sincerity enables one to be reborn in the Pure Land.
