While many view gold, silver, fame and fortune as treasures, these worldly possessions are fleeting and may lead to negative consequences.

       At life’s end, worldly glory and riches vanish, being unable to accompany us beyond this realm.

Only “Namo Amitabha”, the name of Amitabha Buddha, remains with us constantly, in all moments, establishing an unbreakable bond between practitioner and Buddha.

       The jewel of “Namo Amitabha,” is freely available to us, requiring no effort on our part.

       By simply thinking of the Buddha and reciting his name, we receive the most precious treasure imaginable.

       Amitabha, the supreme Buddha, radiates infinite light and his name embodies inconceivable, boundless virtues and merits.

       With a minimal investment of reciting the Buddha’s name, one can receive the  immense benefit of rebirth in the Pure Land and enlightenment. Therefore, "Namo Amitabha" should be cherished as life’s ultimate treasure.
