Buddhist Pure Land of A-di-da - the Western world of Bliss

First details

Summary

World Bliss Buddha land was founded by the feeling responds to the prayers in the person of the Buddha A-di-da. In the Western world, there is much merit solemn inconceivable. Buddha amitābha reporters in this country around ten light without hindrance, he often lectures for public office bar, there are countless Bodhisattva according to his most great crowd helped him make the teachings of Buddha beings. Everyone in this world body, mind, no suffering, everyone was diligent spiritual advancement, enjoyment of its peace. The  economic amitābha, Sutra amitābha, of Infinite Life  vv..deu this meticulous narrative.

As the world Ta-her impure evil world last year, opposition to the Buddhist realms net amitābha charity, chastity, so called Pure.Due to the pain and hurt three worlds, in the fire unrest in opposition to the afterlife of buddhaland A-di-da, just enjoy the peace, so called Bliss, also called the world Lac .

Business pulse Buddhist Pure Life photographic  record: "The world beings in body and mind there is no suffering, only pure joy immeasurable; so-called world of Bliss. " Infinite Life Sutra  upper atmosphere read:" Land does not have a list of three road tribulations, joy only natural truth; so say it is Lac ", as well as just for the Pure Water realms.

In doing such  business amitābha  vv..tuong stately art of merit in Pure Bliss, which are recorded roughly unanimous; but in the business also recorded these solemn or elaborate, or simply disagree; y in endless expectation of humanity that is dignified establishment types. Which,  of A-di-da  is the most concise, said the minister rather less dignified, thought is also very plain.But  Sutra amitābha  and  Enlightenment of Equal is  very meticulous records, idealized even wider.

In the  solemnity of Infinite Life  and  Infinite Life of  Buddha denied amitābha and Arhat has passed away. Buddha's pure amitābha realms is truly infinite life. To  economic Amitayurdhyana  promote the greater the body of the Buddha, spoke of retribution, chief newspapers are inconceivable. From this fact, we can see the experience has edited one after disagreements.

Concise Art of Business amitābha

Beijing amitābha  only one book, so he Kumārajīva first translated into Hoang Thi dating, life Dao Qin (401-413). Then, Xuanzang translated back into the first year of Vinh Huy, Tang (650), the name  of the Buddhist Pure Land Title canopy life photography.  Beijing now has the Sanskrit and Tibetan version. Chinese dating service in the early 5th century, the view from the content business, might have been edited before  Sutra A-di-da . If so, then this text is certain narrative of the Buddhist Pure Land amitābha earliest; so this first raised the record to be doing this.

Di-Da pure gold as land use, there are seven layers buddhaland railings, seven layers treasure net, the trees are seven classes with four precious things: gold, silver, lapis and crystal. When the wind blows through the trees Light and nets precious treasure, the hundreds of thousands of music and sound is far more subtle approach, the listener naturally consciousness Buddha, French conception, conception Increase. And a swimming pool with seven treasures, eight merit water in the tank is full, the bottom of the lake with golden sand spreader. Blue lotus, yellow, red, white, flared wheel enlargement emit light; four by the lake are the ladder, above the parapet built by seven treasures. Then there are birds such as white cranes, giant six nights deprive vv..ngay them were singing the wine, gentle sound, speaker of the teaching unit, in force, seven Bodhi part, eight noble part. In the realms of music are often far above the sky, six times day and night, rain flower mandala. Early in the morning every day, being in a country filled with beautiful flowers picking up her clothes, transport capacity over ten thousand flying psychic memory offerings to the Buddhas other countries, come lunchtime return to his country, sales actually finished, walking . Above is roughly outlined the situation of Pure been said in this prayer.

Concise Art of Business University amitābha

Beijing University amitābha  items presented on the stately  meticulous than  doing amitābha  as saying terrace, swimming pool, all come wider. This economic momentum recorded Pure Di-tillage used seven precious, precious things are the essence of the kind of treasures, such as the seven treasures in heaven Friday. In countries with amphitheater, the Buddhist Vihara amitābha used seven treasures as dignified, the floor, railings are also made of seven treasures, the top is covered with strings of pearls, nets.

Again, the floor of the Bodhisattva and Arhat have used seven treasures as dignified, railing also are made of seven treasures.Around the house was his residence and there are hundreds of classes with seven precious woods. Including many types of trees, tree branches gold silver, gold tree branches silver; onyx tree branch until nacre etc. when the wind blows slightly, the trees are distributed in kind lyrical and melodious sound very good, does not have music match, blocking a hundred thousand ten thousand times ten thousand kinds music in heaven Friday.

Again, the amphitheater, the Buddhist Vihara A-di-da and the floor of the Bodhisattva inside and outside are made of seven treasures; with streams, pools are pure gold, silver and white as the sand bottom of the tank; lake of pure gold, onyx do get sandy bottom of the lake. Then there are the lake took two precious things, precious things for three to seven precious things and make use of this precious things sandy bottom of the lake. Pools of Bodhisattva and Arhat forty miles wide (ie a by week), until two thousand and four hundred and eighty miles. Buddha pool amitābha perimeter four thousand and eight thousand miles (one thousand two hundred by the week), the lakes are hundred flowers are blooming.

When Bodhisattva wanted to offer countless Buddhas in the ten directions, the flowers to forty miles, for six hundred miles to the large flowers. The large flowers are naturally appear, immediate Bodhisattva brings another buddhaland offering to the Buddhas, not until noon, then flew to his country. Again, the beings in the realms of the country, if the want to eat the bowl of the seven natural treasures arbitrary appeared in bowl delicious foods, the food in the world can not match, even food neither by heaven.These are perhaps the  economic amitābha  meticulously recorded. In  doing amitābha  recorded Pure Bliss took the gold tillage Sutra amitābha  changed to take seven treasures. Theory of pure gold in soil preparation is voluntary document  of Bat-elegant optical Zoom  indicated, this is theory before. But this text is to use this amendment seven treasures, this trade show from economic amitābha  that improvement.

Again, in this economic record of the Buddhist Pure Di-da-di Tu mountain no, again no big ocean, sea, rivers vv..mat flat earth.Because, Tu-di Mountain is center of the world is established, on the mountain with sun Dao-profit, halfway up the mountain with the Four Heavenly Kings, four European sides have four great mountains. The earliest period, Pure Land of the Buddha also took this approach to talk about the position realms, the world. But this prayer has no say in the mountains Tu-di-da Buddha realms, also brought the Four Heavenly Kings, are set at Trayastrimsa nowhere disasters, demonstrates the tectonic Pure Di-Da composed entirely unlike three Ta-her realm. This can not but say is a major development of positioning satellites. In stating his texts Ananda asked the Buddha replied on the issue: "If there is no mountain Tu-di, the Four Heavenly Kings, Dao-profit disaster where they rely on to an established". We can see this is the problem of the logician according abhidharma.

Again, in this sutra says Pure Di-Da has no women. The woman born in the Pure Land are transformed into men, all born in the cultural realms where Lotus birth in seven precious lakes, particularly without nourishing, natural foods are full, natural head Members, this itself is not human, not the sky, nature is nothingness itself, be infinity. But the face, shape matchless beautiful, more beautiful Friday realms heavenly king thousand memories hundred times, enough to prove Pure Di-momentum beyond A-cattle Pure woman.

In  Sutra amitābha  credited countless Bodhisattva, Arhat dwells there listening realms Buddha sermon, everyone was diligent spiritual advancement. Among Arhat can witness Nirvana, but also new people enlightened. At the same time a-la-drought in the realm of other countries countless more capital, if there is evidence of this, the Nirvana has not increased, not decreased, ie admit there Arhat death.

Again, Buddhism amitābha in the countless lives onwards witness also enter Nirvana, is to admit his death. After Buddha amitābha death is Bodhisattva Avalokitesvara processor Buddhahood. Later, going through countless lives Bodhisattva mahasthamaprapta processor Buddha, in turn inherited the like, without rupture. Perhaps theory amitābha Buddha passed away, Bodhisattva Avalokitesvara is under the direct successor to the Bodhisattva Maitreya theory processor followed Lord Buddha.

The  sense of equality, of Bi flowers, of Guanyin Bodhisattva prophesies ... also recorded this. Buddha's life span but have long, short, but the Buddhas enter Nirvana is to admit. In the  state of A-cattle Buddha  Buddha also recorded after death, the A-cattle Kim Lust processor Tathagata Buddhahood. So the news enough in the earliest period, the legal practice Pure Land Buddhist believed amitābha also passed away.

Concise Art of the Infinite Life Sutra Page

and of Infinite Life

Infinite Life Sutra dignified  and  Infinite Life business  has recorded merits of Pure dignified basically agreed with  Sutra amitābha , including cultural similarities also shot a lot. But two of the recorded facts omitted Arhat death, and completely omit paragraphs nirvana Buddha-da, you can see here, Pure progressive ideas than ever before. Ie  Sutra amitābha  identified in our a-la-drought have passed away, yet the sea for example, if only a drop of water seepage, the ocean is not reduced. If in our a-la-drought with a death is like a drop of water not related to the increase and decrease of the number is too large.

Now talking about the Infinite Life Sutra , the Buddha originally amitābha in the congregation crowded bar countless documents, although they bar such gathering documents, but many are the intellectual level as the General Category-devout etc .. in a bond-increase-an-tha na-do life, what they said was like a drop of water, but do not know such things in the ocean. From this example to understand the meaning above, documents proving their countless bars. This is negative Arhat have passed away, so we must omit the decease.

Again, in  Sutra amitābha  Di-Da yet passed away, recording the enlightenment of Quan Yin, but in  the Infinite Life Sutra this passage omitted, absolutely not leave traces; This is also demonstrated significant momentum deny Buddha-death. Thus, denying Buddhist teacher and disciples with the passing away of the Buddha Pure-called new momentum older realms have infinite life. This is to say the cause of the argument thrive on Pure.

In  Sutra amitābha  also said other countries in the realm of the sun, the moon, the stars; but in  doing Infinite Life  just omits this paragraph; simultaneously,  of Infinite Life dignified , Assembly  Amitayus Tathagata,  Sutra protected area  and the Sanskrit is not to mention the sun, moon, stars and planets.

Again, in  doing amitābha  record: "On rainy nights six times flower mandala". In  Sutra amitābha  stated: "Every day, at less than noon, return to his country". Recognizing that there are differences of day and night, but the  Infinite Life of  the redaction of this. Stately Infinite Life Sutra  and  Sutra protected area  recorded no difference of day and night.  Business amitābha  passive man put done, then walking.  Beijing University amitābha also scored hundred dishes out delicious, that Buddha-momentum in the country have the real union. But  the Infinite Life Sutra  says subtle food. In fact never eat, see only color, smell, if true, the natural user reviews fed, just get carried to foster investment. These things prove the constituent Pure unlike in Ta-her three worlds. That is to say from  experience Amitayus solemn  onwards Pure Di views on the development momentum upward.

Concise Art of Amitayurdhyana

Beijing Amitayurdhyana  1 vol. In the  signed collective Tripiṭaka Export  volumes 4, recording the name of the translation loss. Higher wages increase comic book 3 to read: "Nien Nguyen Gia efficiency, lifetime Save the Song (424-442) he General-wage-da-amnesty translating this . In continental Security Initiative (be  Kaiyuan continent , vol 5 result) said he Dam-ma-density multi-service to Life Save Song. In this economic base will of rested forty-eight French monks of Tibet should know this follows  of Infinite Life . It says that sixteen measures consistent, object to shop was the scene of solemn Pure Di-Da, compared to  Sutra amitābha  said the business less dignified scenes, rather than close  of A -DI-momentum .

French first shop in this business say the Pure Land by lapis, the bottom has vajra, seven precious, yellow flags banners on land upright. This full vertical banners in eight points, eight angle, in every way by forming hundreds of precious things. French customs said next seven classes trees, each tree eight thousand so-week high, flowers, leaves full seven treasures. Then say the lake has eight merit water, the bottom of lakes scattered multicolored vajra as sand, the lake has six thousand seven precious memories shower; you have hundreds of colorful birds often sing merit praise Buddha, the French conception, conception Increase. France next shop talking about the floor, in each area there are five hundred precious memories floor, each floor of the gods there is far more infinite heavenly music.

This economic record with lapis land,  economic amitābha  land of pure gold record,  Sutra amitābha  by seven precious land, the business was different record. Perhaps this experience  influenced by  the example  2,  Sutra and the sutra Samantabhadra Bodhisattva law enforcement  are raised by lapis land. Next, say relatives and Minister of Buddha's excellent A-di-da, his body sixty thousand high-na-do-tha memories untold by-week, mid-leg white eyebrows as five mountain around from- portable, bright eyes like water in the four seas, countless pores on his body glowing, halo atop hundred thousand memories head-tha na-do Buddhist cultural multitude. Buddha was full eighty-four thousand general good, each minister has eighty-four thousand beauty, beauty in each well are eighty-four thousand rays of light, each beam of light around ten in the world, non-stop beings photographic collection of Buddha.

This economic record of the Buddha's body amitābha sixty thousand high-na-do-tha memories untold by-week; at the same time, his body full eighty-four thousand excellent minister. Roughly in the  Bat-cycle of triangle-soot  burn-momentum Buddha has thirty-two generals, eighty perfect, in  Sutra amitābha  although no particular about Buddha's body, but said the amount of square pools each four thousand and eight thousand-mile surface.

In  doing Dignified  and Sanskrit are recorded tree in the ashrams of Germany this Buddha thousand six hundred so high a-week,  trading Bi flowers  a thousand by-week record,  Infinite Life of  four hundred thousand-mile record. Swimming pool is a place for bathing, swimming pool the size of this corresponds to the holy body which is formed in a dignified manner. VTP tree is where to sit, tall trees with a height corresponding to that solemn Buddha body achievements.

Four thousand eight thousand miles, if taken forty miles is a do-week, then work out a thousand two hundred by-week, the body of the Buddha said than  economic University amitābha  perhaps two hundred caterpillars by-week. If the identity of thousands of miles each four hundred thousand due to the ten-week, with the  Infinite Life of  Buddha-body high momentum right is ten thousand by-week or less. If so, the theory  of Quan  Infinite  Life Sutra Buddha  Buddha record high body sixty thousand memories tha na-do-myriads, really tall Buddha itself is so extraordinary.

Mainly the presentation of merit and dignified body of Pure Land Buddhism gradually Bliss idealization, is the path of development in line with the point of prayer. Economic means amitābha be deemed occurred early, followed by about twenty-fourth of prayer, of about forty-eight vows and vows to merit solemn realms reaching full well complete; simultaneously, to know exactly what's coming era  of Amitayurdhyana the customary law amitābha Buddha newly admitted is reached complete seat.

Pure Origins and Ti-Pure Low-slave

Related to Pure Bliss origin, many scholars have theories to explain. The Sanskrit scholars understand the spirit Ti-low-slave (Vjsnu) in heaven according to Hinduism as the origin, ie taking the etymology of Bliss, currently in use in the Sanskrit is the Tu-ca-oa- mechanical (Suk-havati) capital from Tu-ha-ma-topic, but they Tu-ha-ma-topic mean Huu Lac, Lac; Sukha-vati (ie Sukha-mati) mean Lac and the Infinite Bliss. Sukha-mati (ie Sukha-amarti proverbs) mean the Cam Lo, Convalescent. Sudha-mati (ie Amrta-mati) explains the meaning of the three Tu-ha-ma-topic (Suhamati) also means Cam Linh (Sudhamati) with Instant World Cam Lo heavenly ie low-Ti-slave . So Pure Bliss is transformed from the other heavenly thoughts that out.

Not only that, involving a noun amitābha (Amita); if speaking Sanskrit meaning but Infinite, but beyond customary parlance is also significant Infinite Cam Lo. Cam Lo ie moving from A-bile-point-to-multipoint (Amrti) get translated into Cam Lo Amrti examples are many. Tantric Buddhism known as A-di-da Cam Lo Vuong Tathagata is enough to know a noun amitābha capital from A-density multi-point that out. Again, A-density multi-point mean the Deathless, translated as the Infinite Life. Thus, Buddha amitābha probably not beyond all rhetoric is Cam Lo, which is itself of low-Ti-slave.

In summary, in the ancient scriptures such as  the Bat-cycle of the three-soot ,  of  University amitābha, of the Three-mandala-da-la-promoted Bodhisattva  Pure uses the original language, translation sound is Tu-ha-ma-topic, or Tu-ma-topic. Perhaps ancient Amida's Pure Land called Tu-ha-ma-topic (Sukh-Amati) also undetermined. But in  part Hien Ho, Sutra collection  is another translation  of tam-black Bat-cycle business  and  economic Infinite Life  is the  other translations  of  the Great amitābha  all nouns are used to translate Lac.

Again, in  doing  manjusri vows  with the same type  of mandala Tam Bodhisattva  mentioned above also translated as An Lac.So we have to know this for a sentence of Tu-ha-ma-topic translated as An Lac (Suk-havati) or interpreted as Bliss (Sukhamati).

Again, the former name of Buddha-momentum just means Boundless, amitābha say the Infinite Life, Boundless Light is the source of the title of Buddha Di-Da, said the last text on. Get the Natural Infinite Life made his name, here called Cam Lo ie the A-secret-service point-to-multipoint. Due to the conversion before following that of the contrast with the theory  of the Great amitābha.  Title Cam Lo Wang is translated from Sanskrit, which were later used. Beginning  of Bat-cycle-black triangle , until the business as  Sutra amitābha  etc ... so far not been exposed to the noun Cam Lo. Thus, stemming Pure thoughts or amitābha are derived from Ti-low-slavery deserve comment is certainly not true theory.

Solar mythology and ideology Di-Da

In addition, the scholars found talking Pure Bliss location in the west and the title of the Buddha A-di-da is Boundless Light-minded and want rules to the sun god in India. Roughly in  Sutra amitābha  get light of Buddha amitābha is adhered First up, says the king in the clarity of the Buddhas. In  the Infinite Life Sutra  fully reflected Quang Buddhist twelve titles. Back in the Sanskrit version  of Infinite Life  then raised nineteen luminous type. People worship the Buddha-Tathagata momentum is immeasurable luminous truth.

Not only that, in  doing Amitayurdhyana  logging correlation, visualization means teaching under the direction sundown Bliss world, seen from the broad sense, it can not be said that there is no relationship with the cult sun, especially in the world of Bliss in the west. As the sun was about to set the light in the west, while the views of this makes people feel dignified, noble extremely mysterious; so this new origin. But according to the survey Buddha amitābha not only get Boundless Light Tathagata, but also took the Infinite Life, Infinite Purity Tathagata to worship; simultaneously, no meaningful outside foot of Thich Ton imperishable body that says; so, if the sun do personified, indeed, is not satisfactory.

Pure and Nirvana realm

Pure Whatever comes, everyone wants to get Nirvana realm of Buddha made specific to visualize. In  doing La-ma, China A-levels , vol 56 read: "We demand Nirvana, not diseases, peace supreme, the disease is not Nirvana, supreme peace. Nirvana is not the old bridge, not dead, not sorrow, not unclean, supreme peace, the Nirvana is not old, not dead, not sorrow, not unclean, supreme peace. " This is taking the supreme realm of peace no disease, no aging, no death, no sorrow, no contamination was Nirvana.

Again, in the  Journal of A-levels  13 record book: "The gods, humans because immerse chromosome, color preferred that office, if the other colors are impermanent, changing, cessation, they suffer". Gods and people born craving color, sound, smell, taste, touch, legal; if when the law change, impermanence, extinction, they are suffering. "Tathagata said as they really about identity, collective identity, identity destroyed, fire colors, sharp li; knowing as they really are excellent and there were no office, no longer in charge, not fancy, until no longer interfere with the other colors; when the obstacle no longer is called nirvana supreme peace. " Here, we talk every ordinary ceiling attachment six: color, sound, smell, taste, touch, legal; if the other colors are impermanent, changing, cessation, we suffer immensely, endless afflictions. And Tathagata leave the wrecked infects his identity etc ... should be freed from the obstacles, no longer suffering, remain in peace so called Nirvana supreme peace.

But in doing A-levels  said the Nirvana is to clear negativity and disaster, freeing negative attention, while Mahayana is taken not born, not destroyed as Nirvana; this has a positive meaning.

Nirvana Sutra bowl  6 record book: "If Tathagata enter Nirvana as firewood of all fire off whatever it is called in another sense;Tathagata also called willow enter calculation means ". This book also deal 23, writing: "Often, communication, falls, continence called Nirvana".

In  the First chapter excess of Thang Man,  stated: "The Best prime ministers, the Supreme witness enlightened, that is the realm of nirvana. Realm of nirvana that is the legal body Tathagata ".

Life of the Tathagata  16th  Sutra flowers  read: "As a hybrid vehicle because it manifested beings enter Nirvana, but really no passing, but often head sermon". The Buddha spoke of entering Nirvana have taken calculus, eternal realm permanent make sense Nirvana.

Again,  the sutra Samantabhadra Bodhisattva practice  law  stated: "Sakyamuni-contradiction-ni is Ti-Lot-price-na, Han Xu translated Necessarily, his residence known as Permanent President, by usually four virtues, optimism, self, translational and three-la-density established. "  Comments like Photography Mahayana his 15th World Body stated:" the world is full Tibetan Lotus four virtues, take measures such as gender legs y only place. "

In  conclusion The only official  record book 10: "Own estimates calculated level shifting body, and the body can have no difference, that is the legal body of the Tathagata and his seat is homogeneous; at the same time, the body and the four virtues are so permanent, falls, continence and three-la-density which established ". Based on this theory, the legal body of the Tathagata and his seat is calculated degrees, not outside the realm of the Great opening show nirvana.

Infinite Life Sutra  speak of Pure Land of A-di-da, "Realm of the Buddha-momentum water is pure bliss, wonderful happiness, we can say is nearly equal to the unconditioned Nirvana religion." Beijing amitābha  also stated: "beings in that realm no pain, only joy; so called Bliss. " This denotes ie buddhaland amitābha peaceful residence is supreme, no sorrow, no unclean ".

Again, the 'Life of Buddha-track network and the people of this territory boundless aeons hassle-life', is proof of His realms as realms Nirvana is not sick, not old, not dead; especially one sentence 'unconditioned direct close to Nirvana'. We see this meaning is deep. END=NAM MO AMITABHA BUDDHA.( 3 TIMES ).VIETNAMESE TRANSLATE ENGLISH BY=THICH GIAC TAM.THE MIND OF ENLIGHTENMENT.VIETNAMESE BUDDHIST NUN=GOLDEN AMITABHA PURELAND=AUSTRALIA,SYDNEY.9/11/2016.
