Amitabha Mantras
Tibetan Buddhist Encyclopedia is now 14 years old
Our Encyclopedia recently received a wonderful opportunity for a major renewal on its 14th birthday . After many years of growing our Encyclopedia had become bit slow and sometimes even decided not to answer when people knocked on the door.
A very big thank you and blessings to Dmytro Rudiy (rudiy.nl) for his great work in upgrading the server, website and all of the infrastructure and helping make TBE fast and reliable again for everyone!
We kindly ask our readers to help us cover the cost of this important upgrade and also help with the ongoing costs of keeping the Encyclopedia alive and freely available.

The Tibetan Buddhism Tibetan mantra of Amitabha is 'Om ami dhewa hri'. Various mantras invoking his name are commonly used by modern Amidist schools, particularly 無阿弥陀佛, read Nàmó Āmítuó fó in Chinese, Namu Amita bul in Korean, Namu Amida butsu in Japanese, and Nam-mô A-di-đà Phật in Vietnamese. Buddhist monks in China and Taiwan are greeted by saying Āmítuó fó. Occasionally,
lay devotees of Buddhism address each other in this same manner. The Japanese and Korean form of the mantra is frequently used in prayers for the dead, and sometimes simply to express respect for the dead, somewhat similar to the way some Roman Catholics and Eastern Orthodox make the sign of the cross after mentioning a dead person's name.
