Pure Land in the world.VIETNAMESE TRANSLATE ENGLISH BY=THICH CHAN  TANH.

The Pure Land (also known as the Western World of Great Bliss) in a remote place. And many people are doubtful: Is this world real or not? There is a saying: Pure mind, the purity. Degrees are the world, purity is purity. The pure world is always present when our mind is calm and free of disturbing emotions. The Pure Land article in the human world will make this clearer.


 
Prat khởityasamy of the pure world

From the beginning of Buddhism, Buddhism does not have the name of Pure Land. At the beginning of the original Buddhist period, the ultimate goal was Nirvana and the way to Nirvana was to practice the eightfold Path. After several hundred years and especially the Mahayana period of development, we began to have words for the Pure Land or the Pure Land.

The pratice of the pure world is recorded in the Sūtra of Amitabha Sutra, which is the image of Vi De Hi, a queen who was bored with life when she saw her son, Prince A Snake, his father died. was King Qin Ba Sa La to win the newspaper. Therefore, she begged the Buddha to let her live in a certain world so that she could not have this unjust suffering. The Buddha then showed the ten Pure Land, including the Western Pure Land, where she chose to let her vow to be reborn there.

This shows that: When suffering we have an aspiration to find a place to be at peace and happier.

Pure Land is turned into

Today, among thousands of dharma disciplines, Pure Land is the dharma that helps us to be inspired, have a hobby, have a desire for the path of practice in order to avoid suffering and troubles. Tu path to turn into rather than protection. In  "Hoa Thanh Du"  of the Lotus Sutra gives the image of the people who want to go to the security but because the road is too long, long and tired now they want to stop temporarily.

Therefore, the head of the delegation made a castle and there were also enough facilities for the traveler to wash, eat, drink and rest, then say everything that this was just a turn and advised the group to continue. Go back to the security facility.

Therefore, the meaning of the Pure Land is also close to this idea, the point for us to stop to continue austerities to attain enlightenment. Because we see that amidst this earthly, complex nuisance, we humans are greedy, angry, ignorant, many craving.

We find it difficult to achieve the state of absolute Nirvana so the vow to be born in the Pure Land means the means to rely on the land of Buddha to limit the conditions of attachment, to enter the path of liberation.

Is the pure world real?

We are living in the five vicious beings, that is:

Slipping life: This world is impermanent, changeable and unsafe for humans or sentient beings to depend on.

Slipped Ants: As a misconception of wrong view of each person, it is the wrong view that has brought us suffering.

Slippery defilement: The greed and delusion that dominate people.

Sentient beings slip: As this world of life, every being has its own karma and because of that karma creates negative karma to suffer to suffer from life to life in samsara in samsara that is called sliding beings.

Skid: As each of us is impermanent, we live forever and we cannot decide, nothing is safe.

And we haven't really seen what the Pure Land is like. However, is the Pure Land an aspiration of joy and happiness for the mortal, especially those who suffer a great deal of suffering, a lot of injustice, those who are born, old, sick, dead, and those who have a family? happiness, poor life.

For those who follow the practice of reciting the Buddha's name, the Pure Land world is real and it is a world of civilization and holiness, clearly stated in the scriptures.

The Pure Land is a very pure civilized society, very pure, very virtuous. Pure Land, there are four places to co-exist: one is divine co-inhabitants, two are residual means, three are solemn treasures and four are often passed away.

In the Pure Land there is class, the class here does not mean the person who exploits people, but this class depends on the merit of the grace of each person born there to establish the class in the intercession.

And once a world is sure to be in the law of impermanence. But the impermanent time of the Pure Land is enough for us to be liberated, strong enough for us to become Buddhas, enough for us to attain immortal immortality, sufficient strength where there is no longer sarnsara.

Pure Land in the Human World

Why should we believe that the Pure Land is the real world? Because this is a world that we can build right here in this world with the morality and holiness of man. Let us review the prayers of Amitabha Buddha:

1. All sentient beings in my country have necessarily reached

This prayer shows us a very progressive concept of eliminating illiteracy, to call it ignorance no longer in "my country". In the vision of a leader, facilitating food, education, for the whole people here are very progressive notions, which have been thousands of years old, not the words of today. The pure land is established in our people with such very positive notions.

2. The sentient beings reborn in my country are naturally favored by the atrium (that is, the ear has traveled miles).

Currently, we have more than enough power to hear the sound of anywhere with our phones and modern technology devices.

3. The sentient beings reborn in my country will be able to see through hundreds of thousands of miles of heaven due to the release of the kingdoms, etc.

Also, by technology, we can see not only anywhere on the planet but also outer space.

4. The sentient beings reborn in my country are fully informed. It

means that we will fly away everywhere. And this modern society, we are like that. Not only can flying around the earth by aircraft, but also can fly off the earth by spacecraft.

5. All sentient beings who return to his world will never lead to three evil paths and never hear the name of evil in their ears forever.

Three paths of evil means: Hell, hungry ghosts, animals. These three roads are like a prison in the world. If we do not break the law, if we do not create bad karma, if we are ethical and honest people, these three evil ways will never be there. This prayer expresses the dream about morality in life, about the existence of gentle and healthy people who love and help each other.

We think that the words of the Buddha are ambiguous, depicting a world far away, fiction. But in fact, when looking back, the Pure Land is the world of civilization, the pinnacle of a comprehensive ethical society. In that place, people do not have to do anything to make a living, only practice, cultivate morality to achieve liberation.

If we live without education and without a moral foundation, to bind, so that we learn and follow, then between us and the animals is no less, even more dangerous. animals, because we have thought. And because of that sentiment, morality limits people's crimes. We learn Buddha to grow up and we realize that action leads to mistakes.

To return to the Pure Land, we must have the Pure Land's factor.

If we want to be reborn in the Pure Land, we must have the Pure Land human factor, we must know how to create good karma: to be vegetarian, to recite Buddha's name, to be generous, to forgive. Those factors are the blessings for us to dedicate the solemn Western Pure Land.

So we want to solemnly Western Pure Land, we have to be dignified by the grace, then we can enjoy the blessings in the West Pure Land.

In short, the Pure Land in the human world is a very practical world in this life. We must follow the practices of Amitabha Buddha to contribute to the elimination of insecurity, suffering, injustice, ... in society.

And be a messenger of Tathagata, fulfilling the aspiration of Amitabha Buddha to contribute to the well-being and happiness of all humanity in this life. END=NAM MO SHAKYAMUNI BUDDHA.( 3 TIMES ).WORLD VIETNAMESE BUDDHIST ORDER=GOLDEN AMITABHA MONASTERY=VIETNAMESE BUDDHIST NUN=THICH CHAN TANH.AUSTRALIA,SYDNEY.25/10/2019.
