Was the Buddha Indian? Amitabha Buddha is not Indian, why is his name Indian?

No, it's the ancient Indian Kapila Guardian, the present-day Nepalese.

The Buddha was a Nepalese, and Nepal was a vassal state of China at that time, and he was probably Chinese.

The Buddha said that the Dharma was in the Indian region.

It's the same person.

Buddha originally referred to Shakyamuni, and later evolved into a general term for those who realized the truth. It is a Buddhist term. The Sanskrit name is buddha and the Pali name is the same.

He also made floating heads, no packs, step ta, and futu, and compound beans, and floating tu, and floating figures. It means the enlightened, the knowing. Buddha originally referred to Shakyamuni, and later evolved into a general term for those who realized the truth.

The Chinese people also refer to the Buddha as the Buddha.

In addition, the ancient Buddha of the lamp is the Buddha of the past, before the Buddha Shakyamuni, there is also the future Buddha for the Maitreya Buddha and the Buddha Shakyamuni for the same generation, and the future sentient beings, before the Buddha Shakyamuni, there have been countless Buddhas, such as the Great Light Buddha.

Buddha Shakyamuni is not his name.

From Sanskrit, Shakyamuni is the name of his clan, and Muni is a very wise person, Shakyamuni is "the saint of the Shakyamuni clan". Therefore, Shakyamuni translated into our Chinese is a very powerful person with the surname Zhang, or a saint with the surname Li.

And it is impossible for a child to be called Li Shengren or Zhang Shengren when he is born, so Shakyamuni is not his name, but an honorific title for him.

Summary Amitabha!

He is neither Chinese nor Indian. Rather, he is the head of the Western Elysium. According to the Amitabha Sutra:

From the West, there are more than 10 trillion Buddha land, there is a world name called Bliss, and its land has a Buddha, called Amitabha. This originated in India, so this is the term for Indian Buddhism.

Amitabha Buddha is not Indian, why is his name Indian?

Amitabha! He is neither Chinese nor Indian. Rather, he is the head of the Western Elysium.

According to the "Amitabha Sutra", it is recorded that from the West, there are more than 10 trillion Buddha land, and there is a world name called Bliss, and its land has a Buddha, called Amitabha. This originated in India, so this is the term for Indian Buddhism.

But the pronunciation of the word Buddha is derived from India, which means enlightened, why did Amitabha Buddha give himself a name with Indian pronunciation?

Or is his name just "Amitabha"?

The Sutra of Amitayus says: "When the Dharma Tibetan heard what the Buddha said, they all saw it, and made a supreme and special wish, and in the good and evil of the heavens and people, the land was rough and wonderful, and the thinking was in the end, then they chose what they wanted, and made a great wish." Seek diligently, maintain it prudently, practice merits, and satisfy the five eons.

In the twenty-one Buddha land, the merit is solemn, clear and accessible, such as a Buddha temple. The Buddha country is more than that. The "Dharma Collection" here is the Dharma name of Amitabha Buddha when he was in the ground.

He spent five eons of time learning from all the Buddhas of the Ten Directions and the Third World, and they all picked up the best learning, and after learning all of them, the Western Elysium he established surpassed the land of all the Buddhas. Therefore, all the sutras and teachings of the Buddhas and the immeasurable wonderful methods are also included in this Buddha name.

I know this, I just don't understand why Amitabha Buddha is called Amitabha, and he is not Indian.

Suppose Shakyamuni Buddha was born in our China, would he pronounce the same when he introduced us to Amitabha?

It is said that the first person to translate the Amitabha Sutra, whose name was An Shigao, was from Central Asia, and the translator of the Amitabha Sutra, Zhiqian, was a Yuezhi person, and several other translators of the Amitabha Sutra were also from Central Asia.

Therefore, the belief in the immeasurable light in Buddhism, that is, "Amitabha", does not come from ancient India, that is, the real source of Amitabha Buddha actually comes from Central Asia, and the "light belief" of the Buddha of immeasurable light is likely to be the mainstream of the Amitabha belief.

Shouldn't it be called "Infinite Light and Amitayus"?

Assuming that Shakyamuni was born in our China, would he still be called "Amitabha" when he introduced me to "Amitabha"? Makes sense.

Don't, it's better to recite Amitabha Buddha honestly, don't make it bad for me to cut off your Dharmakaya and wisdom life.
