about

Sukhāvatī, or the Western Paradise, refers to the western pure land of Amitābha in Mahayana Buddhism. The Sanskrit sukhavatī (sukhāvatī) is the feminine form of sukhāvat ("full of joy; blissful"), from sukha ("delight, joy") and -vat ("full of"). It is translated as Ultimate Bliss in many East Asian languages.

In Tibetan Buddhism, the world of Sukhavati is invoked during Buddhist funerals as a favorable destination for the deceased. Such rituals are often accompanied with the tantric technique of phowa ("transference of consciousness") to the pure land of Amitābha, performed by a lama on the behalf of the departed, and practiced by initiates over the course of one's life before sleeping, to prepare for the transference of consciousness at death.
