- A call for the alleviation of suffering for everyone.

Welcome, cool synchronicity with your post. I started a book and it read this part right as I was researching what this mantra meant.
““Nama Amida Butsu” is a phrase from Japanese Buddhism that translates to “I take refuge in Amitabha Buddha” or “Homage to Amitabha Buddha.” Amitabha Buddha is a celestial Buddha according to the scriptures of Mahayana Buddhism. Chanting “Nama Amida Butsu” is central to the devotional practices in Pure Land Buddhism, a branch of Mahayana Buddhism. This phrase is a form of nembutsu, which is a meditative practice of calling upon the Buddha’s name. It expresses the devotee’s faith in Amitabha and the wish to be reborn in the Pure Land, a place where enlightenment is guaranteed.”
Enjoyed the mantra.

@_Barry. Now I feel inspired to attain Tara’s Pure Land! A beautiful green forest and “resembles some sort of fantastic heavenly rock ‘n roll party”!!! Sign me up!!! Reminds me of a music festival that I used to go to in Oregon. Seems much more beautiful and fun than Amitabha’s pure land 
But hey, whatever motivates you to practice, right?

I used to live in Oregon and it is stunning. I used to live in Nepal, it is also stunning.
Good info on Tara’s Pure Land can be found in a past discussion here, as well, you may recall.
