CHAPTER FIVE THE RELIEF OFFERED BY BUDDHA I AMIDA BUDDHA’S VOWS 5. Buddha has many forms of transfiguration and incarnation, and can manifest Himself in manifold ways according to the ability of each person. He manifests his body in immense size to cover all the sky and stretches away into the boundless stellar spaces. He also manifests Himself in the infinitesimals of nature, sometimes in form, sometimes in energy, sometimes in aspects of mind, and sometime in personality. But in some manner or other, He will surely appear to those who recite the name of Buddha with faith. To such, Amida always appears accompanied by two Bodhisattvas: Avalokitesvara, the Buddha of Compassion and Mahasthama-prapta, the Bodhisattva of Wisdom.
