Intro for this episode from the Core Kyoto series:
Buddhists faithful intone “Namu Amida Butsu” in ardent prayer to Amida Buddha for the release from suffering and death in this world into the Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss.
“Namu” means to embrace or take refuge in something. In this ideology, believers supplicate for a peaceful death and salvation in the afterlife.
Discover the diverse faiths in Amida through Kyoto temples, the majority of which are dedicated to this celestial Buddha.
