      And Amitabha means Immeasurable Light (no space barrier) and Immeasurable Life (no time barrier)

      To repent, one must give rise to the mind of repentance. That is most important.

      One can also recite the following verses (with the repentant mind):


      All the evil karma that I have committed in the past,

      Arising from my aeons of greed, anger and ignorance,

      Committed by my body, speech and mind,
      Now I repent before the Buddha.

       

      But without a repentant mind, whatever one recites doesn't mean there is 'repentance'.

      念仏の　うちに　賛嘆　懺悔あり。
      Nembutsu no uchini sandan sange ari

       In the Nembutsu are contained
      both glorification of Amida's virtue
      and repentance of our evil.

      True, I think to take refuge in Amitabha is itself repentance from evil. So one can chant that with a sincere and repentant mind.
