Amitabha in Nanwu is a Sanskrit transliteration. "Nanwu" refers to returning to life, relying on the teachings of the Buddha, and returning to the Buddha to show loyalty and filial piety. "a" means "no" "Amitabha" means "limited". Finally, "Buddha" refers to extremely intelligent people.

Amitabha is the name of a Buddha. The life of this Buddha is infinite, and there is no limit. The light on him is much bigger and can reach the endless world in the void, so it is also called "infinite life" or "infinite light".
