■Amida Nyorai Funagata Kohai The principal image of the Jodo sect and Jishu sect, the guardian principal image of people born in the year of the dog and the boar. Amida Nyorai is also known as the Tathagata of Infinite Life due to its infinite lifespan. The head priest of the Western Paradise Pure Land who continues to save people with his limitless life and limitless wisdom. This is the most popular Tathagata. ``Namu Amida Butsu'' means ``I take refuge in Amida Nyorai.'' No matter how bad a person has done, if he chants ``Namu Amida Butsu,'' he is a big-hearted Buddha who will take him to the Pure Land after he dies. The act of coming to pick up a dead person is called ``raigo,'' and Amida Nyorai comes from beyond the mountain accompanied by Kannon Bodhisattva and Seishi Bodhisattva as his side attendants, accompanied by lively music. He is a kind-hearted Buddha who warmly embraces and soothes even the image of death that we fear.
