According to Amitabha Sutra and commentaries, it did not
specifically state it lest the image remembrance. Once the moment
arrives, and under the blessing of Buddha's vow that casts upon
living beings', the mind will be purestly sweet and will never
haywire - 是人终时,心不颠倒,即得往生阿弥陀佛极乐国土。This manner of Buddha recitation
is more liberating rather than fixing on specific Buddha image, it
also prevents practitioners from discriminating different forms of
Amitabha image.
其人临命终时,阿弥陀佛,与诸圣众,现在其前。是人终时,心不颠倒,即得往生阿弥陀佛极乐国土。Hope that it is
useful. Namo Amitabha Buddha

Going to the Pure
Land
Some have claimed there is evidence of dying people going to the
pure land, such as:
perhaps the problem here is not about whether the mind is
non-confused or not. it's regarding the deptors 冤亲债主 and bad
spirits . even if your mind is non-confused , deptors 冤亲债主 can also
disturb. then it is about your good roots, blessings, virtues,
and causal connections, as mentioned in Amitabha Sutra.
Shariputra, one cannot be lacking in good roots, blessings,
virtues, and causal connections and attain birth in that land.
不可以少善根福德因缘得生彼国-- Amitabha Sutra
of course u need a non-confuse mind 心不颠倒. but one also need
good roots, blessings, virtues, and causal connections 善根 福德
因缘.
the idea of specific Buddha image, btw is also learned from
净空老法师。it's not my idea. 一切为心照 All is mind made does not have to
mean u are discriminating different forms of Amitabha image.
阿弥陀佛
