I appreciate your sense of humor and your genuine honesty. I am almost 80 y. Old. I do not wish to be reborn on this planet. Several years ago, i believe a spirit guide told me to study Pure Land Buddhism. I was guided to my book shelf to find a book (which i had not read) title: Peaceful Death, Joyful Rebirth, a tibetan buddhist guidebook, written by Tulku Thondup. Since then,i have been practicing with prayers, mantras, meditation. I wish to be reborn on Amitabha Blissful Pure Land. Blessings to you all ❤
wonderful, wonderful video. the graphics are marvellous. this is sure to be an incredible resource for those interested in practicing pure land buddhism or learning more about it. i am very much looking forward to part 3. namo amitabha buddha!
As a practitioner we need to know that Buddha said there are numerous ways of buddist cultivation methods. The important things is they are all equal, and we just need to choose which one we like and right and then focus on that. And we shouldn't compare them with different way of Buddist cultivation. Imagine there are many different rivers and all flow into the sea. In Mahayana Buddism there are numerous buddhas worlds and numerous samsara worlds in the Universe. Amitabha pure land is one of the easier one to cultivate to reborn in Buddha world because of Amitabha compassion vows. If you have faith and wish to be born in pure land. Always think of Amitabha, recite and chanting Amitabha name continuously or visualise Amitabha buddha and Western pure land are the secrets to connect with Amitabha Buddha. Do not give up during all kinds of hardship in life. May Amitabha Buddha's light shine on you.
Sometimes, when a great opportunity comes to us, we think "this is too good to be true", so we put it aside, we delay it, we reject it, out of fear, suspicion, or pride, and then regret it immensely The Lord Buddha Shakyamuni expounded the great Vows of the Buddha Amita and assured us of their fulfilment, and explained with love and compassion for us the right practice to attain Birth in the Pure Land and get free of all these terrible afflictions. The Buddha wants to offer us that treasure. Is our Faith and Trust in him so low that we can't accept that beautiful gift ? Are we that confident in our afflicted minds to think we can better determine what is real teaching or not better than all these great Venerable Masters who came before us ? I hope one day we can all accept the gift of the Dharma, and practice accordingly, for the sake of all sentient beings Na Mo O Mi Tuo Fo 🙏
I found this video very helpful and informative :)
