Amitabha buddha
“Amitabha Buddha” is Sanskrit. Amitabha means “infinite” and Buddha means “awakening.” This name therefore conveys the meaning of infinite enlightenment. “Infinite” describes that which is innate in the true nature: infinite wisdom, infinite virtues and abilities, and infinite auspicious marks. These three categories of “infiniteness” cover all the infinities in the whole universe. Amitabha Buddha is a name of the true nature.
