Translation
“Namo Amitabha” is a praise chanted in different forms by millions — as a complete practice in itself. He is best known as the Buddha of Compassion. Sometimes he is called the “Buddha of infinite merits” and also “Buddha of Infinite Light.” Amitabha fulfils the “savior” role amongst the Buddhas (together with his spiritual children Avaolokiteshvara and Tara.) His actual name praise is, in full: “Om Namo Amitabhaya Buddhaya” in Sanskrit.
Buddhists take refuge in the Three Jewels or Triple Gem (also known as the "Three Refuges").
The Three Jewels are:
• The Buddha, the fully enlightened one
• The Dhamma, the teachings expounded by the Buddha
• The Sangha, the monastic order of Buddhism that practice Dharmas.
