Five of the past #Buddhas are considered Cosmic Buddhas. They abide in their #PureLand where they continue to work for the salvation of all sentient beings. Over time they were associated with distinct correspondences. These associations help - at least me- to recognize who is who in the vast Buddhist pantheon.

Aa of infinite light,
Your light shining in all space
Penetrating us with all your love
A warm, soft, glowing red light
That catches us in our meditation
Bringing warmth to our hearts
Setting them aglow
Our hearts bursting open
In response to yours
Your love for all beings
Shining in the warm glow
Of your light.
