The teaching of One Great Store consists of eighty four thousand kinds. All eighty four kinds of teachings converge to one Amitabha’s Name, which generally includes all eighty four thousand kinds of teachings. So, Amitabha’s Name is the reward of a myriad of virtues.

As said by Master Honen, all merits and virtues internally realized by Amitabha Buddha, such as the Four Kinds of Wisdom, the Threefold Body, the Ten Kinds pf Powers, the Four Kinds of Fearlessness, and all his externally dedicated merits and virtues, such as good marks, light, preaching dharma, benefiting sentient beings, etc. are embraced within Amitabha’s Name.

一大藏教所說之法，總言八萬四千，八萬四千，皆納於一句彌陀名號，彌陀一句，總持八萬四千。故彌陀名號是萬德之所歸，

如法然上人言：彌陀一佛所有四智、三身、十力、四無畏等一切內證功德，相好、光明、說法、利生等一切外用功德，皆悉攝在阿彌陀佛名號之中。

Namo Amitabha!
