Amida Buddha made the Original Vow to lead those who honor its own myogo (name of the Buddha) to the Pure Land, and completed all the merits for going to the heaven, which mankind must pursue, on their behalf, as included in the myogo (Namu amidabutsu) for eko (Buddhist thoughts of outgoing and returning) for mankind.
阿弥陀仏は、みずからの名号を称える者を浄土に往生せしめると本願に誓い、衆生の積むべき往生行の功徳のすべてを代って完成し、これを名号（南無阿弥陀仏）に収めて衆生に回向している。
