He represents:

• Inner peace, reassurance, and moral clarity

• The compassionate vow to guide beings toward the Western Pure Land

The core practice associated with Amitabha Buddha is the mindful recitation of his name:

“Namo Amitabha Buddha.”

This practice emphasizes inner stillness and clarity rather than external promises.

• Chinese Zodiac: Pig, Dog

• Western Horoscope: Sagittarius

This association reflects spiritual affinity and guidance, making this pendant especially meaningful for those born under these signs.
