Chanting the sacred mantra, "Namo Amituofo," in rhythmic repetitions is a practice that connects you to bliss, inner peace, and spiritual enlightenment. This mantra holds the essence of all Buddha's wisdom and facilitates a profound connection with your inner Buddha. “Namo Amituofo” translates to "Homage to Amitabha Buddha" — the Buddha of infinite life and infinite light, residing in the Western Land of Ultimate Bliss.
