Amitabha Buddha, also known as the Buddha of Infinite Light, is a central figure in Mahayana and Vajrayana Buddhism. He is revered as the embodiment of limitless compassion and wisdom, and is the presiding Buddha of the Western Pure Land (Sukhavati). In this celestial realm, beings can be reborn to progress toward enlightenment free from suffering and distraction. Amitabha was once a bodhisattva named Dharmakara, who made profound vows to create this Pure Land for all beings. Through sincere faith, recitation of his name, and virtuous living, devotees seek rebirth in his Pure Land, where enlightenment is assured.
