History
A hall housing the golden form of Amitabha Buddha, a place most dear to my heart. Radiating infinite light, Amitabha embraces all sentient beings equally. Before his boundless compassion, none are left behind; all are embraced in salvation. To dissolve into that light is itself the Pure Land.
