In the often said Nam no Amitabha , what does Nam no mean?

"Nan None".It is a Sanskrit transliteration, which means bowing, giving salute, and paying respect. Nan no Amitabha Buddha means to bow to Amitabha Buddha. It is a greeting that has been widely spread after the formation of the Pure Land Sect of Han Buddhism in China.

However, for thousands of years, the scope of use has not been limited to the Pure Land sect, and has basically become a greeting in the entire Buddhist sect, containing the meaning of blessing.

Since "Nan Mu" is a transliteration, few people usually pay attention to the meaning of this word, and when it is used in conjunction with "Amitabha", over time the concept of "Nan Wu" is a prefix word for "Amitabha" has been formed in people's minds, but in fact this is not the case.

Amitabha Buddha is the head of the Western Elysium in Buddhism, plus the Bodhisattva of the Great Trend and Guanyin Bodhisattva, known as the "Three Sages of the West". The Pure Land sect believes that as long as you recite the name of "Amitabha" with devotion, you can be reborn in the Western Paradise, that is, to concentrate on the Buddha Amitabha. This is the original origin of "Nam no Amitabha".

In "Journey to the West".

In the original book, there is an obvious error: the Jade Emperor.

Please come to the Buddha of the West Heaven.

Subdue the Monkey King who made trouble in the Heavenly Palace.

At that time, the lawless Monkey King didn't recognize the Buddha, so he asked who he came? When the Buddha introduced himself, he said, "I am the Buddha of Nan Wu Rulai.

Since "Nan Wu" means bowing and respecting, it is obviously inappropriate to use it here. However, for this error, various versions of "Journey to the West" are usually annotated.

Since the formation of "Nan Mu Amitabha" and the Pure Land sect is related to the widespread spread after the Middle and Tang Dynasty, before the Pure Land sect was widely popular, "Nan Mu" as an honorific for the Buddhas and Bodhisattvas has long been a fixed form, but the greetings and blessings of the people in Buddhism are not limited to "Nan no Amitabha". For example, in the movie "Tang Xuanzang", Master Xuanzang.

On the occasion of inquiry and return of the salute, it is mostly "Nan Wu Shizun Ya" and "Nan Wu Maitreya Buddha."

and so on as a blessing, the processing of this detail shows that the film has done its homework.

The World-Honored One is the present Buddha Shakyamuni.

It is another honorific title of the Buddha. Maitreya Buddha is Maitreya Bodhisattva, the future Buddha.

Master Xuanzang's greetings and blessings contain the meaning of bathing in the Dharma, but they do not have a special meaning like "Nan Wu Amitabha Buddha".

The Chinese pronunciation of Nan Mu Amitabha Buddha is: ná mó āmí tuó fó, and the Sanskrit pronunciation is namas amitābha.

Nam none", a transliteration of the Sanskrit word namas. Pronounced "Namor". In Sanskrit or Hindi:

The meaning of praise and praise is extended by Buddhism as: refuge. It also means praising the Buddhas and Bodhisattvas from the heart, and thus represents the oath of faith, which can be extended to "respected, great".

Buddhism is often used before the Buddhas, Bodhisattvas, Sages and Sangha, and the names of the Ten Directions, to express the devotion to all beings in the world, and to pay homage or take refuge in the Three Jewels.

Amitabha, a transliteration of the Sanskrit word amitābha, pronounced "ā mí tuó fó". At present, in domestic movies and TV dramas, "ē" is pronounced as "ē mí tuó fó", which is due to the lack of understanding of Buddhism. The name of Amitabha Buddha comes from "The Buddha Says the Amitabha Sutra" and "The Buddha Says the Sutra of Amitayus".

The name is understood in modern terms, which means "immeasurable light, immeasurable longevity", which refers to the Buddha on a planet of 10 trillion miles from the west of the earth (according to the Buddha, the time is the west of the earth more than 3,000 years ago), and the Buddhist scriptures on that planet call it "Elysium".

Nan Wu means to obey fate, don't go against fate, and never have to fight for what belongs to you, that is, we want to obey the destiny of heaven and not disobey it.

It is the language of religion, and we can understand it as the meaning of praise, which is the literal meaning of "Nan Wu".

The word in that sentence is a language in religion, and it means to respect and worship, to speak of all beings in the world, to become one Buddha.

Nam Wu is Sanskrit, translated as"Conversion".

Amitabha is his name, Buddha is his name, just like Shakyamuni Buddha, Shakyamuni is his name, and Buddha is his name.

In terms of convenience, Amitabha represents the forty-eight vows, represents the solemnity of the Elysian World, and represents one of the incarnations of the Buddhas.

In terms of its ultimate meaning, Amitabha Buddha represents the Buddha-nature of the mind, and the immeasurable light means that all the things that are seen, heard, and perceived are caused by the immeasurable light. Amitayus means that there is no beginning and no end, and it is constant. This is the great appearance of the heart with the name of the Dharma of the general body, called Amitabha.

Therefore, the Pure Land holds the name of Amitabha Buddha, and if it is convenient and righteous, it can control the Hinayana dull roots; In terms of the ultimate meaning, then it can be unified by the Mahayana roots. It's a method of blunt and incredible. Just like the Nine Pins Lotus Flower, there is a difference between the Pure Land and the Pure Land of the West according to the root nature.

Attributing to one sentence is nothing more than the name of Amitabha Buddha. We scholars should not despise it. If it is used as a vestibule and backyard, peach trees and pear blossoms, it is nothing more than a name, and it will lose great interests.

There is no Amitabha Buddha in the south, and there are three meanings.

One. Amitabha Buddha is the first Buddha, and Amitabha Buddha is to take refuge in the Buddha.

Buddhas, enlightened, people can always be aware, then they are not confused. No matter what you are born in the world, you should be enlightened. If you are confused, you will have no benefit to people and things. Therefore, it is said to return to enlightenment and return to Buddha.

Always reciting Amitabha Buddha is like a great benefit.

Two. Amitabha Buddha is omniscient. Nam no Amitabha Buddha wants us to return to the law.

The Dharma is also positive. If people can have correct thinking, correct mentality, correct understanding of facts, correct knowledge, correct view, righteous thinking, and correct determination, then the world should be successful. If there is no positive basis, there is no benefit to people and things. Therefore, it is said that it is correct and according to law.

Changqing Na reciting Amitabha Buddha in the south is like a great benefit.

Three. Amitabha Buddha is a world of bliss made by the power of will, and it is pure and solemn according to retribution. Nam no Amitabha Buddha wants us to take refuge in the Sangha.

Monk, net also. If people can have a pure and solemn return, then all the worlds should be pure and solemn. If there is no purity and solemnity in the end, there will be leaks in people and things, less in and more out, and there will be no benefits in the end. Therefore, it is said that the return to the net answer is not dug up, and the monk is returned.

Constantly reciting the Buddha is like a great benefit.

The three meanings are combined into one sentence, that is, yes"There is no Amitabha Buddha in the south".The three righteous performances become the ten vows of Puxian, and the ten vows are attributed to the forty-eight vows of the Mida. Forty-eight vows to take care of all sentient beings. Therefore"There is no Amitabha Buddha in the south"It's like a deep meaning.

At the end of our studies, ordinary people speculate with inches, especially if it is a benefit, if it is a deep meaning, so it is so. The wisdom of the Buddhas and Bodhisattvas is unfathomable, and they especially praise and praise the Buddhas. We should always think about it"There is no Amitabha Buddha in the south"!

As mentioned above, if it is contrary to what the ancestors of the scriptures said, I hope that the knowledge of the ancestors of the scriptures shall prevail, and please do not hesitate to tell the end of the learning.

This is a Buddhist term, which can be interpreted in terms of Nanwu and Avalokiteshvara, which is to the effect of praising and praising Avalokiteshvara.

Nan no, now mainly used for religious terms, Sanskrit namas transliteration. In Sanskrit or Hindi, it means praise, praise, and by religious extension, it means refuge. In religious terms, it means praising the Buddhas and Bodhisattvas from the heart, thus representing the oath of faith.

In Buddhist terms, it is often used in front of the names of "Ten Buddhas", "Bodhisattvas", "Saints", and "Saints" to indicate the reverence of all beings in the world for the "Ten Buddhas and Bodhisattvas" or the "Three Jewels".

Many of the words in the Buddhist scriptures are not ancient to modern people, but their pronunciation is very different from modern ones. The main reason for this phenomenon is the transliteration of Sanskrit. There are three main ways of transliterating in Buddhist scriptures:

1. One is the holy names of some Buddhas and Bodhisattvas or Arhats.

2. Some nouns cannot be translated into Chinese because they have too many meanings and are too long, so they retain their original pronunciation.

3. The third is the holy mantra of Chinese Buddhism. Because chanting is passed down orally, it retains a more ancient sound (some may have changed), so it differs from the modern pronunciation.

Nam no Amitabha Buddha is refuge and return, which means respectful and respectful.

Nan no Amitabha, these six characters are all translated from Sanskrit, it is transliteration, why not translate into Chinese? Because this Buddha name is so important, the essence of the whole Buddhism is on this Buddha name, so in order to respect it, it is also recited in its original pronunciation and directly transliterated. But it could be annotated to make it clear.

The word "Nanwu" is the south of the north and the south, but it is not read "nan wu" bold things, but "na mo". Because the rock disperse liquid was 2,000 years ago, at that time in the Han Dynasty, these two words were pronounced "na mo". These two words are also transliterated, so we still have to pronounce "na mo" now, so that we can pronounce that taste, which is the respect for the great virtue of the patriarch.

The purpose of the Buddha's teachings:

It is to help sentient beings break through their confusion and become enlightened, and to restore the inherent nature of sentient beings. Therefore, this Buddha name represents the immeasurable and boundless Dharma, please always recite "Nan no Amitabha".

For the truth of all things in the universe, all of them are understood, clear, and there is no doubt or confusion, this is called Amitabha. Amitabha Buddha is inherent in our nature, everyone has it, in Sanskrit, Amitabha Buddha is the true heart, the true heart is the Amitabha Buddha.

The meaning of Nan Mu Amitabha Buddha is: the "six-character Hongming" of the Pure Land sect of Buddhism, which means "returning to the fate of immeasurable light" or "returning to the fate of the Buddha of Amitayus". The Pure Land sect takes the recitation of the Buddha as the main practice method, which is called to concentrate on the "Amitabha Buddha of the South", and live in the Western Pure Land for the rest of his life.

In film and television dramas, you often hear the Buddha name "Nan Wu Amitabha", and in real life, this Buddha name is becoming more and more familiar to people, and even sometimes people jokingly often clasp their palms together to say "Nan Wu Amitabha". But not everyone who recites "Nam no Amitabha" knows what "Nam no Amitabha" means. Even some old people reverently recited dozens of beats of Lu Nian's "Southern Attack on Hu with No Amitabha Buddha", and they didn't even know what the explanation of "Southern No Amitabha" was.

"Nan Wu" means to worship respectfully, and it also means to take refuge, and these two words are respectful words, that is, we prostrate, salute, and take refuge. It can be directly translated as: attribution, respect to ......

Amitabha Buddha is the name of an "enlightened being with immeasurable merits". "Amitabha" is translated into Chinese, "A" is translated as "nothing", "Mitabha" is translated as "quantity", and "Buddha" is translated as "Jue", which is the meaning of immeasurable enlightenment. Immeasurable awareness is omniscient, omniscient.

To sum up, the meaning of Amitabha Buddha is the forty-eight vows mentioned in the Sutra of Amitayus, which is the condensation of immeasurable consciousness; If it is taken as the whole of the Sutra of Amitayus. Therefore, we can say that the forty-eight vows are a commentary on the name of Amitabha Buddha, and the Amitayus Sutra is a commentary on the forty-eight vows.
