A term from Buddhist scriptures, meaning ‘sweet dew’ or ‘sweet water’.
It is said to be brought by Buddhas such as the living Maitreya Buddha, and it is a miraculous water that, when drunk, eliminates worldly desires and leads to enlightenment and Buddhahood.
In English-speaking contexts, it is commonly known as Amrita, and similar concepts include nectar of immortality, elixir of life, or even ambrosia from Western mythology.
The Gamro, or Gamrosu, claimed by the Seungni altar as a symbol of Maitreya Buddha, is light emanating from the body of Maitreya Buddha, mostly invisible to the naked eye but captured in photographs.
