Buddhist post [ I know i have already quoted this passage but it is always a pleasure to read the dharma words _()_] (...) From this treasure ocean of oneness form was manifested, taking the name of Bodhisattva Dharmakara, who, through establishing the unhindered Vow as the cause, became Amida Buddha. For this reason Amida is the Tathagata of fulfilled body. Amida has been called Buddha of unhindered light filling the ten quarters. This Tathagata is also known as Namu-fukashigiko-butsu (Namu-Buddha of inconceivable light) and is the dharma-body as compassionate means. Compassionate means refers to manifesting form, revealing a name, and making itself known to sentient beings. It refers to Amida Buddha. This Tathagata is light. Light is none other than wisdom; wisdom is the form of light. Wisdom is, in addition, formless; hence this Tathagata is the Buddha of inconceivable light. This Tathagata fills the countless worlds in the ten quarters, and so is called Buddha of boundless light. Further, Bodhisattva Vasubandhu has given the name, Tathagata of unhindered light filling the ten quarters. Shinran shônin from Notes on Once-calling and Many Calling m(_ _)m
