Good morning morning, John I may have asked this question in prior iterations; if so I apologize. Is Amida Buddha the one from whom ALL other Buddhas originate? If that be so, then we of Shinjin can focus solely upon him. All other Buddhas are worthy of respect and veneration, but it is Amida to whom we refer in our meditations and contemplations. Am I thinking wrong here? Gassho Raggamuffin Ray 😊

That is, I believe, a reasonable way to think about it, Ray. Gassho, John
