The Buddhist faith is vast and there are countless Buddhas residing in it. So, who among those numerous Buddhas is considered the most revered?
Some might say it is the Supreme Buddha of all Buddhas, the Tathagata Buddha. However, that is not the case. The most respected Buddha in Buddhism is one who only exists in legends, Amitabha Buddha.
This is the master of the Pure Land, who once made a grand vow, establishing the Western Pure Land, broadly redeeming countless sentient beings, and accomplishing boundless merit.
This Buddhist patriarch has contemplated through five eons and accomplished forty-eight superior vows.
Afterward, he continued to accumulate merits and, ten eons ago, he fulfilled his vows and became Amitabha Buddha, reaping the Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss, located millions of miles west of this Buddha country.
This Buddha can guide sentient beings to the Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss, hence known as Jieyin Buddha.
