AMITABHA BUDDHA AND PURE LAND OF ULTIMATE BLISS.

Important Dharma - Dharma

Buddha Amitabha and the Pureland LAC THE TRANSMISSION OF EXPORT commentaries Drikung Kyabgon Chetsang Rinpoche Jump Vietnamese: Lotus Generally, it is known to have many Pure Land, many of the celestial realms Enlightened we called Buddhas. Pure Land of Buddha of Boundless Light, Amitabha is quite a unique place. There are four Pure Land in the East, West, South, North, and in the center. Among them, the Pure Land of Amida Buddha is the most easily accessible and therefore very special. Thanks to a special desire to be reborn in the Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss, we can achieve the transference of consciousness to the realm. The capacity of the prayer, the power of wishes and fervent devotion is all that is required. In connection with our world, the Pure Land of Buddha Amitabha in the west and at the top of our world. We have to accept a universe and realize that there are many systems throughout the world space. I'm talking to a very vast system. Let us define our position. What I am saying - within the system's great - runs as follows: Sakyamuni Buddha the Enlightened major natural world in a great state. This means that the entire system is called our universe with the sun and moon, the stars and planets, as a unit. Multiply it by one thousand and then multiply it a thousand times a thousand times more. It's three primary natural world. Sakyamuni Buddha dominates one of the primary natural worlds. German realms Infinite Light Amitabha system even beyond that universe. What I am teaching comes from a prayer composed by Karma Chagme expressed strong wishes to be reborn in the Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss. In the prayer, said Karma Chagme Pureland Lac large range like this, the reality beyond our normal and our naked eye can never see it. It is not something that can be seen physically. It is so immense; its not comparable to any standard. We know that it exceeds the capacity of the perception of our senses. It is far and wide, so completely beyond our measure. We can see the stars and go to the moon, but our senses will never recognize the reality of the Land of Great Bliss. For cognitive thinking and normal to us, it too far too immense. In that sense, we can not get there by any means any material. However, when the mind has been purified, which were eradicated mistakes when they return to the pristine state of its own, we can directly experience the reality of the Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss. The way to perceive the Pureland is by heart, not by the senses. So let's set that view in your mind and imagine that dwells in the heart of the vast Land of Great Bliss, contained all the Lord of the Pureland: the Buddha Amitabha, the Buddha of Boundless Quang. His body is red and looks like Buddha Shakyamuni. He had full 80 major and 32 sub-minister of an omniscient manifested incarnations. He has flesh such as design that you see in the statues and thangka of the Buddha. In His hand are the chakras and so forth. as you can see many different generals. Two hands in a position to balance meditation, Indian Meditation, and the hand is a bowl. He looks very much like the Buddha Sakyamuni, the only difference being the skin he has dark ruby ​​red. He looks so bright and vivid. He sits on a lotus and a moon court. Behind him is a tree like mind. His right is Avalokiteshvara (Chenrezig) appears white. He left Germany Vajrapani (Vajrapani), The Lord of Powerful Means. These three leaders of the Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss. Talk a little about the formation history of the Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss of the Buddha Amitabha, which is a Pureland no defects. It is complete in all respects. The realization of the Pure Land that does not appear that there is no cause. The cause of the celestial realms perfect is this? Many lifetimes ago, before a Buddha, the Buddha Amitabha was a monk named Dharmakara (France Tibet), which literally means 'the origin of the French.' When his practice as a bodhisattva, he founded a series of prayers, or the powerful aspirations, the way of things when he was completely enlightened. He said: "There are many Pure Land and the people to the realms that these beings have abandoned virtue, those who have accumulated a great deal of merit, and was devoted to practice Dharma. They can go to the Pure Land, but it is very difficult. What about all those who do not abandon virtue, not accumulate a lot of merit, and can not practice a strict, why? I will establish a Pure Land to the people that can be easily reached. May I liberate all sentient beings without the supernatural qualities of the practitioner goes to the Pureland of all other Buddhas. "There are many versions of the prayer (or vow) of the Buddha A Amida when he was set up Dharmakara (France Tibet). In Tibet alone has 500 different versions of the prayer. In China there are many texts on the making of the Great Vows of Amitabha. In general, we can say that all of his powerful aspirations can be arranged into forty-eight Vows. Pureland Sukhavati became a reality thanks to a forty-eight reasons. This causes the existence of the Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss. C Oh Pure Land does not exist without a cause. The cause of this existence is the operation of the bodhisattva - rank became Amitabha Buddha. In general, keep all the Buddhas in all beings with hearts of his loving kindness and compassion. Because of His great compassion, and he founded the powerful aspirations. They founded the great volunteer work through several generations, while cultivation is the bodhisattva before Buddhahood to affect all beings in countless ways. Like rubbing two sticks together long enough and strong enough you can create fire, thanks to the accumulation of merit and primordial wisdom all things are possible to succeed. In this case this achievement is the establishment of Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss in the west of our world through the accumulation of vast amount of merit and primordial wisdom of God. Again, let us examine the metaphor of two sticks needed to create fire. Fire does not occur naturally from a stick. You need to have two sticks that you should rub them together in a special way in a while. Finally an ignition switch from a combination of two sticks and a fire starts. In a similar way, all phenomena, all reality, all legal, are manifested through a combination of emptiness and interdependent causes (dependent arising.) Any fully reciprocal relationship with each other . That is called interdependent. It's a stick. The other stick is emptiness: Truth of emptiness, of absolutely no intrinsic existence of all phenomena. Two sticks together, the actual nature of reality. This is true of everything, of all reality. Let Pureland aside for a moment and let us examine the realm in which we live. Our world is too. It is the product of the union of nondual clarity (clarity) and emptiness, and emptiness of appearances. These things appear in a completely unobstructed, and yet they have no substance. In essence we do not l à [no self-nature]. That means that all possibilities of experience derived from the fusion of form and nondual emptiness. Let us examine the manifestation of our world or the Pure Land. Everything is not merely an empty because they have appeared, is not it? We can clearly see everything. Everything seems to be the existence and everything seems to be a fundamental matter in our world. That is one side of the equation represents a clear manifestation of the phenomena of experience. T prestigious course, that side can not have if no emptiness. If all the solid existence, material and internal things can not exist. It is through emptiness that things can manifest as appearances. Just because there should not be all things nature can exist. There is no emptiness, there would only be a solid block of special hardware. Thus, it would be just a character. Nothing can form relatively existence without the lay mainly in the emptiness. So the world because of emptiness that we exist. Because of emptiness, the Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss is set by the capacity of the aspiration, the accumulation of merit and primordial wisdom of Amitabha Enlightened. I think if you're new to Buddhism, this is hard to understand, but indeed due solely to the formless emptiness. Let us now continue to explore the special qualities of the Pure Land is formed by the vows of Amitabha Buddha is called the Land of Great Bliss (Dewachen). We are known for many other Buddha, but to reach those places we have fully achieved a lofty status. For example, to go to the Buddha's Pure Land they shall be a tenth stage bodhisattva or approaching the gates of complete and perfect enlightenment, fulfillment, and have accumulated a vast amount of merit. These beings normally very difficult to wish that. Since we Amida Buddha established the powerful aspirations. Although His Pureland seems very far from our world but for beings like us, the realm there to be relatively easy. It is through the power of prayers and wishes of God. As is mentioned above, there are many versions of the prayers, supplication and aspirations of the Buddha Amitabha. If you include them in a single sentence the essence of prayer, supplication, and aspire to be: "May a Pureland is set to the ordinary beings with impure industry, these beings have karma, those who do not abandon virtue, may come to be. "When you get to the Pure Land of Buddha, you will attain enlightenment through high status you had before you arrived. Also in Dewachen, you can go there but that does not mean that you have been enlightened. What happens is you will not return to the cycle of birth and death but rather, you will have everything positive and good conditions for the accumulation of merit and primordial wisdom. In the realm that you will be able to give up all evil deeds and practice to subdue and cultivate your mind until you master to be able to attain enlightenment. Thus it is a general introduction to the Blissful Realm. Now I will speak on a wish to be reborn in Dewachen (Bliss) by Karma Rinpoche Astrs Chagme Rag-compiled. First, I will begin with a description of the topography of this Pure Land. The earth is not the same ground in our world. It is not rugged and covered with stones. It is perfectly smooth and flat, and is composed of jewel dust. In the Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss, you always have a sense of the vast show. It is immense. No changes in light and shade. A large light throughout the entire body from the physical appearance of the Buddha of Boundless Light, Amitabha Buddha. All immersed in the realm of enlightened blaze of Buddha Amitabha. Solid ground is not dry. It is soft and if you fall on it, you will emerge a man on. You will not be tripped toes. In Dewachen everything is soft. There are many trees, they are the treasure tree like you any idea what you need. The tree full of birds of all kinds. They all are the reincarnation of Buddha Amitabha. They have a delightful singing voice. Rather than the usual singing, they sing the Dhamma as your mind is joy and peace. All the people there to hear the melodious sound of France all becomes peaceful, happy, and satisfied. There are many rivers, streams and creeks and water is not ordinary water. It is perfume. There are lakes where you can relax and bathe in perfume. The ground is covered with colorful flowers and fragrant lotus, it expands and pistil of a lotus from the multitude of light rays. On top of each light ray is a Buddha. All the Buddhas preach France. By listening to the lecture he cast off all your mind with negative feelings. In the Land of Great Bliss no sickness, no poverty, aging and death. There is no distinction between one person to another. All are beautiful. All are full of good qualities. None of these shortcomings, the mistakes, the pollution, not the kind of suffering, even the word 'pain' will not be heard in the Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss. How to be born in Dewachen is a faith and strong desire for the Pure Land, and desire to be born there. When you're living in that realm, you're not born with a normal process. In our world, all of us were there in the hardships and working in sorrow. In place of birth is a painful process. In Dewachen, you are not born through a womb, but rather you are miraculously born of a lotus blossom stigmas. If you pray with one mind and faith of intense heat is generated there, you will be wanted. If you raised any suspicions that you have been born there but not born in a lotus blossom. You are bathed in luminous light of the Buddha, but you can not recognize all the qualities of the Pureland arbitrary and can not travel here and there. You are in a closed lotus blossom until the last traces of doubt and negative was eliminated. Then the lotus will bloom. If you have no doubt whatsoever, you are born in a lotus blossom. This type associated with aspiration to be reborn in the Pure Land that you have set up at death. Keep in mind the distinction is important between the two different types born in the Pure Land. The most important thing is to make the right wish to be reborn at death. Do this forcefully without any doubt. If you let doubt enter your mind, you will be living in a closed lotus blossom. If you plan on dying wish was strong when not experience anything, you are born in a lotus blossom stigmas in the presence of the Buddha of Boundless Light, Amitabha. One of the wonderful qualities of being reborn in the Land of Great Bliss is if you read the booklet on travel to the other Pure Land, you can go there immediately as it wishes . You can move a miracle to any other Pureland just by setting up volunteer to go there. From this world, you can not immediately go to the Pure Land, but from the Pureland of Great Bliss, you can. Do you have passport, visa, and all kinds of tickets needed to go to all the Pure Land of Buddha do any, in every way and whenever you want. When you're born in a lotus blossom, you have not yet fulfilled. Have you eliminated from your mind all the negative things, although you not a Buddhist, but you were born in a form more positive qualities like the qualities of a Buddha. You are born with a bright yellow body. Do you have supernatural powers and super sense. You will benefit from years of super-sensory capabilities. Other qualities that you have as a child is everything you need to make offerings to Buddha that now you are aware of your physical eyes are in the Pure Land, they will automatically manifest in your hands . In this way you can easily accumulate merit and perfect it for the accumulation of wisdom. Moreover, eventually the accumulation of merit and wisdom leads to Buddhahood will happen very quickly in the Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss. Contrary to the Pureland other, realm Dewachen (Bliss) process accumulate merit and wisdom very quickly. The Sakyamuni Buddha said, "So it begged to be reborn in the realm Dewachen accumulate merit as much as possible the offering seven types of gems and other treasures filled three thousand world (the subject as discussed previously). "In general, we can say that any sentient being heard the name of Amitabha Buddha (in accordance with the Vow of Amida Buddha) established voluntary rebirth in Dewachen and engage in practices that can be reborn in the realm Dewachen. Those who have accumulated years of negative felony is difficult to achieve that. Even so, even for those with serious sin that, if they practice strong, they can still be reborn in the realm Dewachen. In summary, on the teachings of the Buddha Amitabha and the Pureland of Great Bliss, this practice is common in all countries according to Mahayana Buddhism. Why is that? It is by the nature of the vows of Amitabha Buddha. Practice and Amitabha Buddha Pureland suitable for ordinary people and anybody can practice. You do not have a great noble person has abandoned all virtue. You do not have to be a great yogi. Depending on the capacity of the prayers of the Buddha Amitabha, you can engage in this practice. This is a practice Sutrayana. Therefore, it is French subjects people can practice. It is very democratic and open to all people. Q: Once you have been born in the Pure Land, will have the opportunity to return to this world to help sentient beings attain enlightenment? A. The purpose of rebirth in the Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss is to achieve Buddhahood. Thus, the meaning of the Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss is all you've got good conditions to achieve complete and perfect enlightenment fulfillment. When you are fully enlightened state that is not the superficial enlightenment to rest in Nirvana. It is the Mahayana Enlightenment is based upon emptiness, enlightenment Nirvana and samsara is not something to attachment. The key of all Mahayana practice is compassion. Pure Land itself is set by the power of Great Compassion of the Buddha Amitabha. If you realize the emptiness is compassion then automatically manifest. Emptiness together with compassion - is what makes Buddhahood - also made the release complete and perfect fulfillment. When you get rid of this, you will not be limited to the Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss. You can take any way you want to manifest. You can go to any Pureland you want. You constantly manifest in numerous different ways for the welfare of all beings. Q: On the one hand, to be reborn in the Blissful Realm sounds easy. On the other hand at that time to get real peace will have to strengthen ourselves, really desire to achieve bodhicitta. Thus the road as a major challenge in the desire to help others and not only interested in themselves. So work was not easy. A: The rebirth in Dewachen (Bliss) only difficult if you have committed a Felony Year is not atone. If you do not commit one crime that is very easy because all you need to do, depending on the capacity of the formation of powerful aspirations to be reborn in the Land of Great Bliss. What is the capacity to merge it with the antidote to all the obscurations and your non-moral. It is of great volunteer capacity of the Buddha Amitabha. Another factor contributing to the formation you wish to connect this practice and to be reborn in the Pure Land. Other reasons it is easy to be reborn death is the moment every moment. Dharma teaches that all things in a state of constant change. All things are impermanent and towards death all the time, so in every moment, something dies and something regeneration. Experience how you're doing it depends on your mind is directed to how. Your current thoughts will lead to follow your experience. If you wish to establish a continuity from moment to moment, understanding that any moment would be a death, in every moment you are longing to be reborn in Dewachen, then you have established the continuity of that aspiration. That would be your experience. Cause the moment that will create results in the next moment. Everything is the transformation in consciousness. Question: Rinpoche, he could preach to us about adding light in the closed lotus? How light that illuminate them? A: In the Land of Great Bliss, all things are imbued with light. Like everything else in and around the Land of Great Bliss, it is an emanation of Buddha Amitabha. It is the whole Buddha Amitabha. Any perceived in the Land of Great Bliss is a spread of the Buddha Amitabha. Light is the Light of Compassion. The Light of Compassion ripening sentient beings. Q: (not audible) A: The formation of prayer reborn in the Blissful Realm is a personal issue. You can not develop a wish on behalf of someone else. But you can help others by making them heard the name of Buddha Amitabha and let them know the existence of Buddha Amitabha in the Pureland. I know that even hearing the name of Amitabha also very beneficial. Another thing you can do to help others as they die on you can do Amitabha practice differently. Example, at death you can do Ph'owa, and it is a transference of consciousness practice of the dead out of their own. The rituals and pujas are done at the time. There's a ritual called Shitje. It is a ritual done to death. Many things can be done even though he was dead. Elements of their minds are closed to and be guided by different ways. Q: (unknown listen) Answer: We have to talk a little bit of emptiness. The doctrine of emptiness does not at all confirmed that what we perceive is absolutely nonexistent. We can not say that things are made up of atoms and molecules and material reality (literally) does not exist, and in that sense, it illusory. We are saying that they have no self-nature. They have no inherent existence. They have no real solid, real, corresponding to how they appear. They seem to exist an intrinsic, but not so. This is the teaching of the great Madhyamika - Madhyamika. There are two different schools, The Mind Sex (Cittamatra) saying that they are self-interest. The only thing that really exists is the mind and everything else is a projection of mind. Teachings Mahamudra (Great India) said that the actual nature of reality is beyond the acceptance or whether or not, no no no, there is not. This is called 'Four Extremist' (four calls). Mahamudra perspective beyond them. Standing at the level of relative truth of it, in the Tibetan language that says 'Kun-Zop Dempa' means a sentence enchanting. 'Dempa' which means truth. 'Kun-Zop' that is completely wrong. Hence 'completely false truth', relative truth is the result of our wrong perceptions. We perceive things have intrinsic existence when in fact they are not. Our minds cling to what we perceive as solid and real. By grasping this in mind, one thing that materialized in fact empty. It is a mistake. All phenomena that we experience. They are by and experience in our mind. If you can not have different experiences. Everything that appears outside a projection of the mind in the sense that it is experienced by the mind. It has no solid inherent existence from its own side. It was a mistake in perception. Q: Is there any way that we can stay in the Pure Land, except at the end of life literally. On the other hand, this is what can be achieved in the present life? Can go to the Pure Land in this lifetime? A: Yes, when the last breath has been exhaled, before the next breath being inhaled. At that time, there is a death and a rebirth. There you can experience the Pureland in the time between breaths. Question: Rinpoche, he said that we can experience the Pureland in the middle of it, so in that case, what is the Pure Land? A: What exactly is the Pure Land? Pureland is primordial awareness of our own pollution. If from moment to moment, you practice introspection and still maintain the pristine nature of your enlightenment, that is the Pure Land. Everything from your own mind. Please understand this, there remain: the Pure Land. Q: If interdependent appear in emptiness is how it can exist without the artifacts in emptiness? A: Emptiness and interdependent, the duality. We are one. Even when it is already nondual wrong then, because it implies that there may be a duality to be overcome. From the beginning, they are always the same. There is no difference between them. It's not like there are two parts. When you look Vasu emptiness a dualistic dependent arising, that is the analogy of samsara, the cycle of birth and death. Overcome duality and see you at the same time cause and effect. Then all the co-occurrence. It is emptiness and fullness interdependent, non-dual. In the text, many examples have been used to illustrate this truth of the unity of emptines and interdependent origination. But let's take for example this cup. As a manifestation or appearance relative structure of our perceptual experience, the cup is something complex. It is composed of small elements. Is that it? It was created by the atomic and molecular substances can become particularly land, water, wind, and fire. All these things are combined in such a way as to make up what is called the cup. Then it is decorated, painted and carved. It's something that is made ​​in Tibetan we say 'Dutshe': complex, something that is created. The causes and conditions are gathered in a way to create a relative manifestation that we can use and impact each other and aware of what we call a cup. However, if from its own side and not depend on the causes and conditions there is no something called a 'split'. Nothing appears as a 'split' in itself and which belongs to the whole separation process causes and conditions that meet together. It has no substance. The essence of it is empty. In Business 'Prajna Paramita Hydraya' (Heart Sutra): "Matter is not, is not sharp, colors not unlike No, no not another identity." All phenomena are exactly the same nature. Whatever the experience of samsara or beyond its nature has the same exact one. The essence of it was empty and it is experienced as a result of interdependent origination. Perceive things as alternate visions of emptiness and dependent arising is still an ordinary beings. Overcoming the dualistic vision, perception of things at the same time is emptiness and interdependent, it is the Buddha. Great saint Nagarjuna (Nagarjuna) said: "samsara and its transcendence beyond (samsara and nirvana) not two. Understanding the nature of samsara in its essence is beyond.
