Unconditional Love

May all beings be happy and secure, may their hearts be wholesome!...Just as a mother would protect her only child at the risk of her own life, even so, let him cultivate a boundless heart towards all beings....Let his thoughts of boundless love pervade the whole world...

The Immeasurable merits & virtues of Buddha's name recitation - chanting of Amituofo

" If you offered to the Buddhas (佛) and Bodhisattvas (菩萨) and Pratyeka-Buddhas (辟支佛) and Sravakas (声闻) all the jewels in the world, the merit of this is very great, but it would not equal the merit of urging people to recite the Buddha name (阿弥陀佛 ) even once."
