Why go to Amitabha Buddha's Pure Land and not other Pure Lands

Among the infinite Buddhas and infinite Pure Lands, why does Shakyamuni Buddha repeatedly encourage us to seek rebirth in Amitabha Buddha’s Pure Land? Because Amitabha Buddha made 48 Great Vows specifically to save ordinary beings like us who are still trapped in samsara (especially the 18th vow). Other Pure Lands certainly exist, but many require a high level of spiritual attainment to enter. Amitabha Buddha’s Pure Land is unique because it is open to all beings who have faith, vows, and practice, especially through reciting Amitabha Buddha’s Name.

Shouldn't bodhisattvas stay in Samsara? Why Go to the Pure Land?

There are two kinds of bodhisattvas: those who have attained the stage of non-regression, and those who have only just generated bodhicitta. Only non-regressing bodhisattvas can safely remain in Samsara to liberate sentient beings without falling back. Other bodhisattvas and ordinary beings should first seek rebirth in Amitabha Buddha’s Pure Land. By attaining rebirth there, one can quickly realise non-regression and enlightenment, then return freely to countless worlds to help save sentient beings.

Q: Is the Pure Land Also Empty? If So Why Seek Rebirth?

In this episode, Shifu Shengchi answers a question commonly asked by Mahayana practitioners: If all dharmas are empty, then is the Pure Land also empty? If so, why should we seek rebirth there? She explains why attaining rebirth in Amitabha Buddha’s Pure Land is not contradictory to the teaching of emptiness. 🪷 Hai Hui Shan Foundation (Australia) website: https://haihuishan.au [https://www.youtube.com/redirect?event=video_description&redir_token=QUFFLUhqbWNSSUNtbVkwWGgzVWtjcUtnM0dTTGI3d0RnUXxBQ3Jtc0tsejNJVDJlZUNTWGs1aXMyXzhzLTlyaDFXMXBfR2lsLVFrYnZwR1JKRGlBY2g3TFF3Z2lVNzNEZ19uZ3RlM2NONDBzcEhLYWt6LXFfeF9La095M1o4YXFKR0ZBTVAwVVNlbFpmVG01eDB2RERxYmJpWQ&q=https%3A%2F%2Fhaihuishan.au%2F&v=3-HBSwJ_bL4] 🪷 Official Dharma contents website: https://www.pure-land-buddhism.com [https://www.pure-land-buddhism.com]
