Amida Never Abandons Sentient Beings

Buddha Amitabha is like a compassionate mother watching over her infant child. There is no mother who does not care for her children. Buddha Amitabha will never abandon sentient beings, nor will he ever be angry with them, otherwise, he could never have become a Buddha! It is the same for all Buddhas and Bodhisattvas; none lack mercy or compassion. — Cheng Wei-an, Taming the Monkey Mind - A Guide to Pure Land Practice: Forty-eight Aspects of Buddha Recitation: 11
