The pure land

Pure Land provide us a temporary shelter to all well beings. Amitabha pure land in the western pure land (Sukhavati) provide us the privileged to go and practice Buddhism until we get enlightenment. However, if one rebirth into the samsara world to practice Buddhism has the advantage to get enlightenment due to one could face all the suffering and good things in the samsara world to practice oneself day by day.

The pure land

From another perspective, going to pure land may become a hindrance to one’s practice, especially for serious practitioner who want to get rid of the boundin samsara. Environment or conditions that enable one to see the three marks of existence namely anicca dukkha anatta is more conducive for one to see the reality of existence. Being in a sukhavati world equip with all the conveniences, existence with aesthetic qualities, be they a manifestation of physical or mental experience only obscure the visibility of the true nature of things. We shall be more cautious or need to think twice if we really one to go to sukhavati world.
