By the early Development of Buddhism, he Nagasena brought the Buddhist theory of salvation in his argument, became prerequisite for Buddhist ideology force later. Bliss world, the Chinese translation from Sanskrit Sukhanati, is where happiness without suffering. This realm by the Buddha Amitabha teach. It can be said that the world of Ultimate Bliss is a different concept of Nirvana, because Nirvana (Nirvana) means to extinguish all afflictions suffering. In a narrower sense, it is a real world in the West, unlike the world I her this painful that Amitabha business called "five degenerations evil" . World of Ultimate Bliss with the typical advantages such as no impurity, no negativity, long life span, food order, have psychic powers ... Very beautiful country is made of precious materials such as gold, pearl, save glass ...; trees, lakes, palaces, roads are these treasures, music as musical heaven, the birds singing songs such as lecture ... In short, it is an ideal world, the environment is good for our practice and achieve ultimate happiness. Buddha Amitabha is the world's cardinals Ultimate Bliss.

According to the Infinite Life Sutra, the Buddha Amitabha was a king. After enlightenment, his mind has left home and became monks name is French Tibet (Dharmakara). His determination to practice the Buddha and vow to all beings in the world of Ultimate Bliss. He made 48 vows to help sentient beings salvation.

Trust is the foundation start-up desire and mind towards the world of Ultimate Bliss. Like all other methods, is the mother of good faith legal and arising merit. Belief of Pure Land practitioners very well, believe that Buddha Amitabha and the World of Ultimate Bliss, Buddha and God-we are always available to us, just concentrate believe and recite determination rebirth is sure to be reborn. So, the Pure Land texts, and the Pure Land practitioners often say certainty, not hesitating attitude, duality. 2 - May the force or psychological desire (May) Stable beliefs will lead to desire rebirth called aspiration. All psychological activity towards the Pure Land, all desires are stimulated by the boredom of life disinfected before and insecurity. If we are material desires, feelings, thoughts of this life, the desire for rebirth is not strong. Now associated with this life does not reduce the unattractive Pure gets so bored I new she wished the intensity of the Pure Land. That is also the reason why older people prefer magnetic than the young. Expression of the wishes of the Pure Land is any act, speech, and mind must express wishes. With powerful prayer to give UE rebirth in the Pure Land, would be able to save sentient beings. Wishes thus corresponds to wish the new Pure Land, being sensitive to the Buddha and St. in Ultimate Bliss. 3 - Practicing (Happiness) When compassion towards the Pure Land, every action, language is continued practice, ie practice methods for Buddha, meditation ... are taken to the consolidated body, speech and mind, not to earthly objects draws attention was distracted. Any merit, improve the dedication we are on the Pure Land, often practitioners set themselves a retreat concept, for example, in a day and a night divided into six key to chant, make your own target standard concept of how many times, thanks to the practice which he may elect, seeing Buddha and the Holy Land of Great Bliss. III. Method for Buddha The purpose of chanting Amitabha is brought to mind, overcome all delusions of the mind. Buddhist mindfulness is the practice of mindfulness, so in terms of the nature, recite the Buddha's teachings are not different from meditation, is the core of the practice. Method of Buddha there are four ways: 1 - Tri list Buddha: reciting Amitabha Buddha's name, or silent or sound concept. 2 - visualize the Buddha: Buddhist mindfulness and gazed at the statue, seeing good minister of Buddha, or the general good of the Bodhisattva and the Church. 3 - Visualizing Buddha: Visualizing the image of the Buddha Amitabha to see visions of the Buddha. French restaurant is different from the custom object is not using external images. Infinite Life sutra refers to 16 legal consistency. 4 - It's generals Buddha: Buddhist mindfulness reach the no-thought, no subject and object. This French restaurant Zen coloring than Pure therefore not popular. Magnetic method is widely accepted and practiced, especially nominal Buddha, who also practices, can recite loudly called the High bar keep, thoughts privately called Even maintenance, rugged machine environment without into known as Vajrayana over. The ancient given 4 shades Buddha: fire concept is concept from not urgent, not impatient, just persistence, can both work for Buddha, not need "tu tempera late" ; second two is Access empowerment concept, is to question the Buddha on top of the mind, that is Buddha always money, is not affected by the work, determination, fix the time and need to have clear results ; Tuesday is the concept Meditation, the mind on the then used mind was that Buddha. This is the religious practice based on the original tradition, when the mind is achieved, apprehending that in mind, here radial practitioners of Pure Land of Amitabha Buddha; Wednesday Join saving concept, is Buddha Zen koan influence, as if the question: What is Buddhist mindfulness? The simmering the climax will break down consciousness and enlightenment. This nuance is more marked by Zen Pure Land. CONCLUSION Pure Land Buddhism focuses on personal faith and the salvation of the Buddha Amitabha. Practice mainly reciting Amitabha Buddha and meditation to the world of Ultimate Bliss. This is a sect of the most widely popular and also many other sects and common practice. Recite the Buddha's teachings as the path is quite consistent with many different radical. In fact, the practice of Buddha from the Theravada Buddhism, the Buddha taught mindfulness objects including Buddha head, because this is the easiest to focus on mindfulness, Theravada Buddhism, Buddhist definition of force has been included in the chanting Buddha. Through pre-Mahayana, Nagasena commentator (Nagasena monks) conviction of salvation through the policy direction of King Milinda (emperor Greece). King said that is not acceptable when an evil person be saved if he believes in a Buddha on the eve of death. Nagasena replied: "A small oil stone how much is still under water, but a rock floating above the water if the boat" . Later, the commentator Mahayana deploy more radical Buddhist doctrine of salvation and through the texts, Pure Land Buddhism clearly typical for her thesis. Buddhist path of liberation is basically in the center, ie the individual effort, the Pure Land teachings are still not out this way, large stones by boat that floats on water, but transporting rock the boat to is elaborately itself, to get the 10 anniversary of the mind and the salvation of the Buddha, one must meticulously accumulated large, which means that there is a process of practice. Later, when the other schools have affected the development of Pure Land thought, especially Pure Land thought in mind as "Amida nature, idealistic Pure" make the Pure Land teachings in self-reliance more but perhaps it is not the intention of Pure Land Buddhism. To conclude, citing talking about the Buddhist concept of the king, the Vietnamese Zen Master Tran Tran Thai Tong in his lock broken record: "The Buddha has three levels: the upper position, the mind is Buddha not by training evidence, Buddha body does not have two generals, the general nature, status, but often also, not knowing. That means the Buddha. secondary position to rely on the Buddha, diligent attention, Buddha did not forget Net natural meditation. consecutive Good appeared notion evil targets. Mindfulness evil whether only target concept. By concept concept concept concept of killing. Once anniversary, surely on the right path. to the network when they are happy nirvana . Tier commissioned mouth position, recite the Buddha, the mind wants to see the statue, virgin body Buddhist country, day and night diligently not quit moving. After a general network by the kind thoughts that were born to a Buddhist country, listen to the Buddha said that Bodhi witness " (Lock damaged contents, HT. Quarantine, City Buddhist Church. He concluded three kinds of people on here worms need different purposes and as a result, but said the upper position easy, difficult, secondary location if diligent efforts will achieve in this life, but if heavy industry is not an end, it is difficult achievement, lower level position to benefit from taking Buddha made ​​a solid step-by-step ladder through water Buddha will then aspiration. therefore want the transcendent achievements must begin with something simple.
