is a pivotal concept in Pure Land Buddhism, referring to the belief that Amida Buddha descends from the Pure Land of Sukhavati to guide the mindstreams of a devotee to the Pure Land at the moment of death. This spiritual event is viewed as a literal escort by the Buddha, ensuring the deceased avoids the pitfalls of the lower realms of rebirth. Often accompanied by a celestial retinue of bodhisattvas, including Seishi and Kannon, Amida is said to appear on gold and purple clouds (紫雲) to the dying person to validate their faith and provide a serene passage into the Pure Land.
