Compassion and Wisdom

Om mani padme hung.

In the Pure Land school of Buddhism, Amida Buddha is the Buddha of Boundless Light (Spiritual Wisdom) and Boundless Life (Spiritual Compassion).

In essence, he is the symbol of spiritual aware of compassion and wisdom in the world.

In counterpoint, the Christian's spiritual awareness of the lovingkindness of the Christ arises from prayerful oneness in God, which is available to all of us.

Embraced by Amida, a person's life may be changed so that all she does is reflect the compassion and wisdom so deep that other people's lives are also changed for the good.

All it takes is faith.
