Amita Buddha is the central deity of Korean Pure Land Buddhist worship, whereby a sincere appeal to Amita, merely through the chanting of his name, guarantees salvation and rebirth in his paradise. Thanks to its directness and simplicity the Amita cult grew in popularity among all social classes during the Goryeo Dynasty.
