Buddha Shakyamuni himself said there is a Pure Land where Amitabha is staying, so we believe this. Buddha Amitabha told us that his kingdom is extremely beautiful. If you want to practice the Pure Land practice, you first need to understand this practice, so you can practice. Your accomplishment will depend on your level of understanding of this practice. You need to understand why Amitabha Buddha wants to preach Amitabha Sutra, so you have faith to practice. You have to know why you want to go to the Pure Land. How do you feel about going there? Do you have confidence and great wishes?
You need to practice right at your heart. After you have trusted in the Pure Land outside, you will believe in the Pure Land within your mind. In the end, you will see the whole world is the ultimate bliss realm.
You know there is America, though you have never been there; But you know someday I'll go there. The same goes for the Pure Land.
If you decide to the Pure Land, then right now, you have to believe that there is a Pure Land. Thus, you will become confident, to be able to practice. A person attains liberation, enlightenment, he can come or go into the Pure Land at will. I was not enlightened, but in dreams, I used to go there.

Responsibility is in us. Because we have done unwholesome deeds, we are born in this suffering world; We are here to repair our past unwholesome actions. In order to one day, we can return to the Pure Land.
There are three things that need to be cultivated in the Pure Land Method. First, there must be faith, to believe that there is the Pure Land of Amitabha Buddha. Second, you have to make a wish to go there, and the third is you practice.
For example, you first believe that there is Pho Quang Son Pagoda (Fo Kuang Shan) in southern Taiwan. Then you have to make a wish to go there. You can go there by plane, bus or private car and you need money to buy tickets and everything else.
Golden Tree and Crystal Lake 
Would you like to know the Pure Land? I understand you care to know how to practice this practice more, but if you want to know how to practice, first you need to know how it is. If not, you may give up halfway.
It is full of golden trees and crystal-like lakes. There is no need to worry about traffic jams or aircraft failures. There are many lotus flowers; Small lotus flowers are as big as Taiwan. It is very convenient and you can sit on the lotus if you want. You can go here at will, completely free, without a passport. If you like to wear beautiful clothes, then you are naturally dressed. If you want to eat well, they will immediately appear in front of you. Every time you think about something, you will be as desired.
The Pure Land is also known as the Pure Land. I am the happiest and richest person in the world. Every day at work, I hear chanting and my mind is full of Peanuts while working. As I walked, I was like walking on lotus petals, so I was always happy. When I die, I will go to the Pure Land; however, I know very well that right now I am also living in the Pure Land.
Let Nature 
I am trying to live peacefully. Every time someone wants to argue about something, I tell myself, "Go ahead, let nature go." Slowly, I try to get rid of every problem so that every day is peaceful. In my daily life, I try to say only good things about people.
One day, I dreamed of coming to the Pure Land. There were seven treasures, and one person took me to see them. I choose to take one and say, "It is so beautiful!" When I returned, I saw Amitabha Buddha. I also saw the Buddha's treasure.
Another time I dreamed about diamonds and I wondered why diamonds grew on trees. I saw a little girl in the realm of Amitabha Buddha, and asked her if I could bring back a tree. I chose to take a tree about 0.3 meters tall. At the end of the trunk is a lotus and this lotus I would like to give to you.
Three years ago, I visited a museum, where there were many precious treasures. The instructor asked if I wanted to come closer to see. I told him it was not necessary, because rare treasures were in the Pure Land. I want to say that treasure is in my heart, so I don't need artificial diamonds.
All that is expressed in the Amitabha Sutra is true. It is not something that you have to believe, it is true, the Pure Land is real. There was a ship going to the Pure Land, and I also dreamed about it. All these dreams increase my beliefs in the Pure Land. So do you want to go to the Pure Land?
For ten years, I used clay, sculpting statues of the Bodhisattva Generals, Guan Yin, Samantabhadra and Manjushri. After these statues, I sculpted the statue of Amitabha Buddha. I sculpted the statue of Amitabha Buddha to prostrate and admire Him, to create merit into the Pure Land. In a dream, I found Amitabha slowly turning into rice and this made me realize that rice helps our body to be healthy.
Practicing 
I feel that Amitabha Buddha has helped me in my practice. After molding the statue of Amitabha Buddha, I made another Guan Yin statue and two statues of Ma Ha Tat, who are defending the Pure Land. When I finished making these three statues, I began studying the scriptures. I read about the Buddhist Mindfulness, how to focus my thoughts and how to think of the Pure Land of Amitabha Buddha.
When I discovered the Amitabha Sutra, I began to recite it 15 times a day. My dreams correspond to the content of the sutta. In the Pure Land, there are about six, or seven ranks, and I continue to practice until I reach the highest level. I recite the name of Amitabha Buddha whenever I work and I'm not busy. After 5 pm, when I returned to my room, I chanted again.
Once you have the sutra, you can recite it within 5 minutes. On the way from the office to my room, I read three times. I also recited the A-Di-Da notes. After 30,000 repetitions, you know that Amitabha Buddha is in your mind, but this is not done in one day. The sutta teaches me to always think of the greatness of Amitabha Buddha.
Sometimes I practice a special practice, within a week I only recite the name of Amitabha Buddha. Many people gather, practice and recite the name of Buddha. When I returned to my seat, I saw that Amitabha Buddha was so big and so great that I could only see the Buddha's body, not his hand.
In dreams, I saw the statue of Amitabha and Quan Yin and I bowed. The statues are located under the trees, on a beautiful altar. Amitabha Buddha sat on the lotus court, took my hand, like a mother holding her hand.
Every day I worship Buddha many times. In my own room, I have a small altar with many statues of Bodhisattvas that I worship every day over 100 times.
By reciting the Buddha's name and chanting I will create many merits. All the merits that I have, I will dedicate to all people and then I will go to the Pure Land.
I Am The Most Rich 
When I have time, I practice and I also help the monastery by doing office work. I have been a monk for over 10 years; Before that, I worked as an accountant for an office in Taipei. I wanted to learn about Buddhism, to become a Buddhist monk, but had not found a suitable place. I dreamed of a mountain and felt that the Buddha lived there. It is like a lotus world, but in Taiwan there are many mountains, I don't know where to look or where to go.
I first went to Yungmin Nunnery, where Mr. Hu Van (Hiu Wan) often taught, but I was too old to join that retreat. I am 31 years old, but the course is only for people under 30 years old. Then I heard about Pho Quang Son, where nuns under 35 years old could go to school. So I set out and joined this course.
One day, I chanted the Quan Yin Method, and after I finished walking, I looked up at the peaks. I find these mountains very familiar. They are the mountains I dreamed of before. I returned and worshiped Quan Yin, because I understood that I came to the place I was looking for.
During the course, I had to learn about Buddhist art. I do not like this subject very much, because I think I do not have artistic talent, but my teacher is very excited. I asked her how to draw and shape a lotus flower, and since then, I began to have a lot of interest in molding the statue. After carving the lotus, I decided to shape the Buddha image.
I work as an accountant so I have to count money, but no problem, because every coin I count, I recite the name of Amitabha Buddha, Amitabha Buddha! In my mind, all are Amitabha Buddha. I am very happy, I am the richest man. Everywhere in my house, I am Amitabha in my mind. The tree is outside, inside me, everything is Pure Land.
You need to have faith and practice. Then I will meet you again in the Pure Land. Anyone who practices the Buddha's teachings and meditates can go there. Meditation does not leave chanting. The practice of Pure Land practice and Zen practice is no different, you can practice both at the same time. Meditation does not leave the Pure Land, and the Pure Land is not different from Zen. So you can go to the Pure Land and we can meet there. END=NAM MO SAKYAMUNI BUDDHA.( 3 TIMES ).VIETNAMESE BUDDHIST NUN=THICH CHAN TANH.GOLDEN  AMITABHA MONASTERY=AUSTRALIA,SYDNEY.29/5/2019.
