The single Name of Amitabha is the king of Buddha, the king of the teaching, the king of dharani, and the king of merits and virtues. To exclusively recite one Buddha of ‘Namo Amituofo’ means upholding and reciting various Buddhas, various bodhisattvas, various sutras and dharani, various teachings and practices inclusively. It is so-called ‘all 84,000 teachings are all collected and included within the six-character [Name]. Also called ‘All eight teachings are inclusively covered, and all five schools are perfectly embraced.’ One can attain rebirth near end-of-life, and also the joy and peace of body and mind in the present life.

一句彌陀是佛王、法王、咒王、功德之王。專念「南無阿彌陀佛」一佛，即是總持總念諸佛、諸菩薩、諸經咒、諸行門。所謂「八萬四千法門，六字全收。」亦謂「該羅八教，圓攝五宗。」既得臨終往生淨土，亦獲現世身心安樂。

Namo Amitabha!
