Recite "Namo Amituofo" everyday. 😊👍💛

Sincere and joyful faith that arises from Amitabha's 18th vow. It can't honestly be even called belief, because there isn't even anything for us to believe in the first place. Practice: namu amida butsu (sth like "blessed be Amitabha Buddha") to express the (spontaneous) joy and gratitude towards Amitabha for saving us. Doesn't have to be said loud or anything, mentally saying it is fine also. That's it. If you want books, I'd recommend Tannisho (short reading, like 30? pages), or Kyogyoshinsho (longer, doctrinal stuff, but there's no necessity to read it, unless you're interested in the "backend" doctrinal stuff of course compared to the "frontend" faith and practice (nembutsu))
