Amitabha Sutra

The Amitabha Sutra is a Buddhist teaching that is used like a prayer. It tells us that if we recite the sutra with sincerity, we will be reborn in a place called Sukhavati, or the Pure Land. According to Buddhist teachings, this is a place of peace, joy and beauty, where we can learn from the Buddha. People usually recite this sutra when they are trying to achieve something spiritually. Like a prayer, it helps to keep our focus and motivation on our spiritual path.
