Also called Muryangsubul ('Buddha of Eternal Life') or Muryanggwangbul ('Buddha of Eternal Radiance'), Amitabha Buddha is the lord of the Pure Land of Bliss in the West where everyone relishes eternal youth. One of his teachings is that the devotional chanting of his name in this world helps a person enter the blissful land and achieve enlightenment after death. This teaching developed as a tradition of pursuing enlightenment by chanting in Mahayana Buddhism in the Far East.
