existed eternally, Buddha of Immeasurable Light and the Buddha<br />

of the Western Paradise or the Pure Land of Sukhavati (Tibetan -<br />

Dewachen)<br />

Avalokiteśvara =" the Lord who looks down on the World" or "<br />

the power of wisdom<br />

In China, the character ‘AUM’ appeared in Chinese Buddhism,<br />

and was also in prayers towards Amitbha Buddha in Pure Land<br />

terms which developed after the mission of St.Thomas in China.<br />
