The Pokémon Cosmology has hinted its way larger than where we tier it.
BUDDHISM AS A CONCEPT WITHIN POKÉMON
First is the Existence is Buddha worship within the cosmology. Something that has existed since Gen 1.
Buddhist alter has being a thing within the cosmology. Censored in the English Version, but the Japanese version is the Original
Now, things existing in the verse doesn't mean anything if the system behind it does not exist.
And in Pokémon, it does
Amitābha is a Buddhist Monk within the Pokémon Cosmology. In case anyone missed it, the phrase Clefairy mentioned "なんまいだ" , which was used to exorcise Gastly are words chanted to seek the divine protection of Amitabha Buddha, who is literally the Buddha in the panels. Ie. He's literally a thing in Pokémon and his power was used to exorcise Gastly
STORY ABOUT AMITABHA
Amitābha has attained Buddhahood, meaning that the 10 realms exists within the cosmology as well as Sukhāvatī, which is his Pure Land.
He transcends time and space, as well as the three realms
In case anyone doesn't know what the three realms are.
Buddhahood is, it is the highest of the 10 realms in Buddhist cosmology
Buddhahood is beyond the limits of the mind, life and death or dualities. Completely Apophatic and irreducible to words or concepts. It is neither Nirvana nor Samsara.
