Amida Triad
Have you heard of “Amida Triad“?
It’s a group of three Buddhas: Amida, Jizai, and Sei-shi. They are often worshipped together.
In the Amida Triad, you’ll find Amida in the center, with Jizai on the left and Sei-shi on the right. Take a look and feel the roles and teachings of each Buddha.
Seishi represents the “wisdom” of Amida, while Jizai symbolizes his “mercy”.
It’s so cool to see all three heroes together!
