Amitabha is one of the most popular deity figures of Mahayana Buddhism. As Buddhism developed, various figures such as Amitabha were added to worship and became focal points for artistic expression and popular belief. Some of those figures were seen as Buddhas in addition to the historical Buddha, since the title Buddha indicated an enlightened individual in general, not solely the historical Buddha. Amitabha is the Buddha who rules over the Western Paradise of SUKHAVATI. Like a BODHISATTVA, Amitabha is said to have originally been a human. He is most often associated with the figure Dharmakara, an Indian king who gave up his throne and became a monk. Dharmakara decided to become a Buddha and establish a realm where all souls may reside until they are ready to enter nirvana. This realm, Sukhavati, is best understood as a state of consciousness, although in many people’s minds it is a kind of heavenly paradise. A practitioner need only recite Amitabha’s name at the moment of death and Amitabha will appear and escort that person to his Western Paradise. （177字）

阿弥陀佛是大乘佛教中最受欢迎的神像之一。随着佛教的发展，阿弥陀佛等各种人物被加入崇拜，成为艺术表达和民众信仰的焦点。除了历史上的佛陀之外，其中一些人物被视为佛陀，因为佛陀的头衔表明了一个开明的个体，而不仅仅是历史上的佛陀。阿弥陀佛是统治SUKHAVATI西方乐园的佛陀。像BODHISATTVA一样，据说阿弥陀佛最初是一个人。他最常与人物Dharmakara联系在一起，他是一位印度国王，他放弃了自己的宝座并成为了一名僧侣。 Dharmakara决定成为佛陀并建立一个所有灵魂都可以居住的领域，直到他们准备好涅槃重生。这个领域，Sukhavati，最好被理解为一种意识状态，尽管在许多人心目中它就宛如天堂。一位修炼者只需要在死亡时刻念阿弥陀佛的名字，阿弥陀佛就会出现并护送那个人到他的西方乐园。
