A golden Buddha seated on a lotus throne and surrounded by successive circles representing light emanating from his body. In front are tables of ritual objects and sumptuous offerings.

The skies are raining flowers, gems, amd musical instruments, Buddhas teach amongst clouds, and a mountain range is dotted with auspicious symbols.

Throngs of human and non-human figures are arranged facing toward the central Buddha, their hands in gestures of respect as they listen to the teachings.

Students (and I) revel in the details—the eponymous endless light emanating from the Buddha Öpakmé, the raining gems, instruments indicating endless music, and the throngs of beings reborn there to listen to teachings that resound throughout the heaven realm.
