Mahasthamaprapta Bodhisattva is now in the Pure Land and is the second Bodhisattva to succeed to the Buddhahood. In the future, he will also follow the path of Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva and become a Buddha, named Shanzhu Merit King Buddha. According to the Contemplation of Infinite Life Sutra, he "illuminates everything with the light of wisdom, allowing people to escape the three evil paths (referring to the three evil paths of hell, hungry ghosts, and animals) and gain supreme power", so he is called Mahasthamaprapta Bodhisattva. The treasure bottle on his head contains the light of wisdom, which shines upon all living beings in the world, freeing them from the disasters of blood, fire, and war and giving them supreme power.
