Thank you!!! That’s very reader-friendly!!!
Amituofo!
Thanks for finding it useful. Do sign up for the mailing list for updates 😉 Amituofo
I have that picture in my mobile too 🙂
Tips for those interested to add the pic to your phone:
1. Right click and save to computer.
2. Email to phone or connect phone to computer via wire or bluetooth.
What am I saying in this day and age?
You all should know this already! 😀
Good to see this … anyway can this properly spread to more …?
I remember encountered a stranger many years back on the MRT platform, who just walked up to me and told me to that mouth is for reciting Amitoufo and quickly walked away. So shocked! I have nothing on me that indicate I am a Buddhist ????
If it is my mom who encountered this, most likely, she would think, GuanYin in disguise to tell her a message.
If people of other Faiths encountered this, I don’t know what will they think? Maybe, they will think this stranger mentally unsound or what kind of religion is this …..
Some months back, I still encountered Buddhist practicing Pureland who I JUST met, gave me a mini ‘lecture’ why Pureland is good and other religions …. Until I can’t have a peaceful meal!
Frankly speaking, I won’t just take other words just like this, who would? So, the proper channel is via some established religion organizations with good records …that allow public to access easily, openly and get to know (see and feel) via proper means in a relax way with no string attached …
Thank you, Shian. Appreciate it very much. Amituofo.
