阿弥陀佛是光中极尊，佛中之王，念阿弥陀佛名号，十方三世一切诸佛的名号，一切菩萨的名号统统都包括尽了。名号功德不可思议。持阿弥陀佛名号超胜其他一切法门。发心念佛，佛光普照。

此佛号为朱砂所书，朱砂有驱邪避凶之效，供于壁上，一心称念，必定业障消除，智慧增长，心地清净。

Amitabha Buddha is the supreme radiance, the king among Buddhas. Chanting the name of Amitabha Buddha encompasses the names of all Buddhas in the ten directions and three periods of time, as well as all Bodhisattvas. The merits of reciting the Buddha's name are inconceivable, surpassing all other Dharma methods. By cultivating a sincere mind and reciting the name of Amitabha Buddha, the radiance of the Buddha pervades and illuminates.

This Buddha name is inscribed using cinnabar, known for its purifying and protective properties. When displayed on a wall and recited with a focused heart, it is believed to dispel negative influences, eliminate karmic obstacles, enhance wisdom, and purify the mind.
