| Description | Enshrined within the central altar in the Main Worship Hall is an image of Amida Buddha. Out of pure inf inite wisdom and limitless compassion, Amida Buddha's vow is to liberate all sentient beings, who otherwise would be unable to attain perfect enlightenment. Emitting the unhindered light of compassion to the directions of the ten quarters, the standing image signifies that the Buddha is actively working on all of us. When we rely wholeheartedly upon Amida Buddha, we say the Name,"Namo Amida Butsu"in gratitude. Through this vow (Hongan), those who attain birth in the Pure Land of Amida immediately receive the same merit accumulated by Amida Buddha and therefore are able to attain Buddhahood, where after they will also take an active role in seeking the liberation of other sentient beings. |
