In that Buddha Land, there is heavenly music playing constantly. The ground is made of gold.
In the six periods of the day and night,
Mandarava flowers fall from the sky.
In that Buddha Land, when the soft wind blows, the rows of jewelled trees and jewelled nets give rise to delicate and wonderful sounds, like a hundred thousand kinds of music playing at the same time. Those who hear these sounds will naturally give rise to the heart of being mindful of the Buddha, the Dharma, and the Sangha. Śāriputra, the realisation of the Buddha Land is thus meritoriously adorned.
Why is that Buddha named Amitabha? Śāriputra, the light of that Buddha is infinite, illumining all worlds in the ten directions without obstacles. Therefore, He is named Amitabha. Moreover, Śāriputra, the life of that Buddha and His people extend for infinite, limitless asamkhyeya kalpas. Thus, He is named Amitayus.
if there is a good man or good woman who hears the Name ‘Amitabha’ and holds to it, whether for one day, two days, three days, four days, five days, six days, or seven days, single-heartedly without confusion, at the time of near death, Amitabha Buddha and all the Sages will appear before this person. When the person is at the time of death, if his heart is not deluded, then he will be reborn in Amitabha Buddha's Land of Ultimate Bliss.
-Amitabha sutra
