“南无阿弥陀佛” pronounces “nán wú ē mí tuó fó” in Chinese. In Sanskrit language, it’s namo amita budha. It's a kind of chant. Please check more on www.learnchinese1on1.com.

Hello, my dear friend. The mark you got from your friend is a typical mark of Buddihism. And the phrase "南无阿弥陀佛" is an Amita-buddha, which probably means "religious devotion to "佛"(similar to God in Christian's mind). It's believer's good wishes and the expression of their determination to let "佛" guide their life.
