Amitabha Buddha’s Three Promises
First Promise: Rebirth is assured if we recite Namo Amitabha Buddha.
Second Promise: The Buddha’s light will embrace us if we recite his name single-mindedly .
Third Promise: Amitabha Buddha will appear in front of us to comfort, protect, and greet us before our death.
Life is happiest and easiest when we have these three promises from Amitabha Buddha.
