LARGER AMITABHA/AMIDA SUTRA part3

THE LARGER AMIDA SUTRA delivered by Shakyamuni Buddha.
In this sutra Shakyamuni is telling us the story of Dharmakara Bodhisattva who awakens aspiration to become a Buddha and to create a Pure Land accessible to all people, no matter their spiritual capacities. He made 48 Vows, among which the Eighteenth is called the Primal Vow. Shakyamuni Buddha urges all people, virtuous or not virtuous, to have faith in this teaching and Amida Buddha. Shinran Shonin, the Founder of our tradition said that The Larger Sutra is the most important and represents the true goal of Shakyamuni appearance in the world, that is to help all people attain the Supreme Buddhahood.
