In the past year, 2015, people in the United States, Canada, Russia, Spain, Korea, Vietnam, Burma, Malaysia and other countries accessed our English-language website for information about the pristine Pure Land school. They sent letters of enquiry about leaming and practicing its teachings, This is inspiring as well as touching, Our English website contains limited information about the principles of Pure Land Buddhism, Even so, our overseas readers sensitively picked up the scent of the assured achievement of Buddhahood. This is as commendable as it is unfathomable. Everyone needs the deliverance of Amitabha Buddha, Where there are human beings, there is a need for the Pure Land teachings. By contrast, we who were born in mainland China and enjoy plentiful access to materials of the tradition, sometimes are as indifferent to its flavors as a spoon dipped in soup is to the taste of the broth. We can attribute this to differences in individual aptitude and karma.@ | s: ht Shines Through the Universe ABR, RRA PA LZR AY FRB AS RARE OB fe, MG AIL, VA RAMEE A Zh, ENE TARE ARE “AT SBI ts” LEAS AT.

The articles collected in this volume are stories about the paths travelled by Buddhist seekers outside China. Some of their experiences are surprisingly similar. They confirm the aptness of the question, “Why isn't everyone following the path of Amitabha-recitation?” for sentient beings in our Age of Dharma Decline. For example, Householders Jingxing and Jingfa are serious seekers of a spiritual path. They both followed other creeds, initially. After becoming Buddhists, they first practiced the Path of Sages, such as Chan or other traditions. Then they tumed to Pure Land Buddhism, but through the Jodo Shinshu or Jodo Shu of Japan, Finally, through the discourses of Master Huijing, they accepted Master Shandao's Pure Land teachings and obtained thoroughgoing peace of mind and joy in the Dharma. Their experiences give us many insights ‘Among them: 1) The Path of Sages is difficult and ineffective. 2) The Jodo Shinshu tradition places great emphasis on faith, thereby confusing many practitioners and tripping them over. Shinshu is not the “Easy Path” that it claims to be. It has departed from the essence of easiness. 3) The teachings of Master Honen's Jodo Shu are pleasing to many. But in modern times, they have become mired in in ritual,We PRES LBL TM FE. SRM, AA HES {T, STRR-K.

Because of its difficulty to ordinary practitioners, it is like a road that leads nowhere. 5) Master Huijing clearly expounds Master Shandao's Pure Land teachings and highlights Amitabha Buddha's unconditional deliverance, which is perfect and all-embracing. It exceeds everyone's expectations. That's why these teachings are flourishing, Confucius said, “Who can exit if not through the door? Why isn't everyone following the Way!” He meant that nobody could leave a house without using the door, Everyone should adhere to this law of nature According to the Dharma, the name of Namo Amitabha Buddha is the door to exit the burning house of the Three Realms How can anyone escape this house of death and rebirth without using the gate of name- recitation. Let us all recite Namo Amitabha Buddha! Master Tanluan said “‘name-recitation is the exclusive path.” We all rely on Amitabha Buddha, There is no other way out. ‘Master Jingzong March 4, 2016FBR LADE, MBM RAS AMEN AREA Wi, IMR AGT EY.

I knew nothing of Buddhism, but immediately felt drawn to the exhibit. 1 stayed, and spent the next couple of hours walking through the museum in a kind of trance, soaking in the energy of the place, ‘The Buddhism of East Asia featured heavily in the collection, and I now know that this, my first encounter with the Dharma, was practically a virtual tour of the Land of Bliss. It would be many years before I again heard the name of Amitabha Buddha, but a seed had been planted. When a voice on a loudspeaker announced that the museum would be closing in ten minutes, I ran to the gift shop and spent all the money I had on books about Buddhism. I spent the next eight years experimenting with the practice of meditation. In my earlyReturning Home: A Pilgrim's Joumey to the Land of Bliss SIPURA RETR. ROBIN.

I believed that meditation was the cure for all the world's ills, and that I had found the here-and- now path to enlightenment. It's perhaps not surprising that I became more than a little evangelical. I started a meditation group I hosted Buddhist events that featured speakers on meditation. I garnered local media attention. Zen Buddhism seemed the jewel of all wisdom, and I felt that it would be wrong not to share it with the world. I even secretly harbored aspirations to become a teacher of Zen myself. But of course, the Buddha had other plans for me, Contrary to my expectations, my Dharma path would be one leading from “wisdom? to ordinariness. I can't remember the first time I encountered Pure Land Buddhism in my reading, but I know for certain that I was unimpressed. It was obviously a corruption of the Dharma — just another version of dying and going to heaven, a concept familiar to me from my Christian roots.

And who was this celestial Buddha, Amitabha? Clearly, a fabrication. I was a disciple of Shakyamuni, the historical Buddha, and that was that. In the midst of life's messiness, it can be difficult to appreciate how we are being led, When I began studying Buddhism, 1 still hadn't fully broken with my family's Christian tradition. When I did spiritually separate myself from Christianity, I quite naturally retained a notion of a “higher power,” but I no longer knew what to call it I began to call it the Mystery. As my study of Buddhism deepened, I experimented with superimposing Zen concepts such as “emptiness” onto the Mystery, but it was difficult to square this with the relational aspect I experienced with this higher force. How does one have a relationship with emptiness? Little could I guess that this Mystery did, in fact, have a name; and it would not be long before I would come to utter that name with my own lips.

BRI ASU SAA LOTT, BAG TIE, Dee — My first encounter with Buddhism occurred when I was two, when I saw a statue of Maitreya belonging to my Dad. At 11 years old, I learned the profound truth of impermanence through Laozi, who was a contemporary of Shakyamuni Buddha. I was so impressed by the Daode Jing that I started reading books by Zhuangzi and Liezi, as well as other books about Daoism, However, Daoism didn't really answer all the questions I had, and seemed kind of obscure; I couldn't see any goal besides becoming an immortal. At that time, I also studied the history of the Shaolin Temple because of my interest in martial arts, so I naturally began to lean towards Buddhism, especially as I felt a connection to Avalokitesvara (Guanyin, Kannon). I then devoured a 600-page book about Buddhism, which introduced the life of Shakyamuni Buddha and all the main Buddhist schools. After reading through the section on the Mahayana, T remember feeling deeply impressed by the Bodhisattvas — those great sages who practice through innumerable kalpas for the sake of sentient beings.

Since my early childhood, I could feel if a place was haunted by a spitit, or “presence.” I could never see anything, but I could feel it. IT also had many dreams about haunted houses or ghosts. After I began to study Buddhism, I would still see ghosts in my dreams — always a fearful experience but I remember in one dream beginning to recite “Namo Avalokitesvara” without knowing what it meant. Like a miracle, the ghosts in my dream disappeared and I woke up instantly. I learned about the power of the reciting “Namo Avalokitesvara” a few years later when I read The Universal Door of Avalokitesvara, a chapter in the Lotus Sutra. It was only after I went to China to work that I began to practice Buddhism seriously. One of my friend's mothers was a householder, and she gave me many books and DVDs. I established a morning and evening ritual. In the morning, I would recite the Heart Sutra, The Universal Door of Avalokitesvara, The Great Compassion Mantra, Avalokitesvara's name and/orBuddha's Light Shines Through the Universe 4).

On weekends, I would devote longer periods to practice — example, reciting the entire Ksitigarbha Sutra, which took almost three hours. Thus, I entered the gate of Buddhist practice through the recitation of sutras, mantras, Buddha and Bodhisattva names, and meditating, while always dedicating the merits of my practice toward rebirth in the Pure Land, In addition, I often went to the temple to attend the momning ceremony or speak with masters and householders.

I was also watching some online videos of Masters Chin Kung and Haitao, both famous masters from Taiwan, but they advocated mixed practice, saying that to be able to reborn in the Pure Land you need to do that, do this... I eventually stumbled upon Master Yinguang's letters, which made more sense to me, but I already felt burnt out. After three years in China, I had to go back to France for medical reasons; I discovered that I had a malignant tumor on my chest. I had to wait to have surgery, and in the interim, I started to read a lot about Chinese Chan masters, like Master Huineng and Master Huihai, as well as contemporary masters like Master Hsuanhua and Master ThichNhat Hanh. At the same time, I stopped practicing; Buddhism had become more of a thinking process or mental exercise. One day, I was surprised to find a book in French about the Pure Land.

How can we attain rebirth with that alone?” (Keep in mind that I had been heavily influenced by Master Chin Kung's videos.) I also read about Shinran, but his was almost the same teaching as Honen's, just more poetic. I suspected that, because the Japanese had simplified the teachings coming from China, the Japanese innovations might not be the true teaching. I still had scary dreams, but one night instead of reciting “Namo Avalokitesvara” in my dream, 1 started saying “Namo Amitabha.” I still clearly remember this dream: There were many ghosts and I was reciting calmly, and they were disappearing one by one. Suddenly, a huge ghost started to laugh and told me that my recitation was usel against him. I remained calm and continued the recitation of Amitabha's name. After just three or four recitations, he, too, disappeared, After the operation to remove the tumor, I experienced two episodes of heavy bleeding and nearly died from blood loss, I had to take an ambulance to a smallWhen the Studer PO ACBAEBE HE”.

After having fully recovered, I decided to go to Japan instead of back to China. I still wasn't practicing, but I was reading books about Buddhism. I decided to give Jodo Shinshu another chance, but I felt quite lost after reading a book by a Japane householder. His vision was so different from Shinran's (founder of the Shinshu), and was vastly different from Chinese Pure Land. For the next three years, I did not read anything about Buddhism; I only practiced meditation. But at the end of 2014, I again felt the sire to practice in a disciplined, systematic way, and to commit toa set of teachings.

I found one book about Shinran that I hadn't finished, and I read a few pages without much enthusiasm, until I saw a passage quoting Master Shandao. I was intrigued by this name. I jumped on my computer and Googled Master Shandao. The first result 1 found was for a website called Pure Land Buddhism. I started to read the booklet The Pristine Pure Land School, and 1 could immediately feel the joy. Finally, I found the master who could teach me about the Pure Land — not mixed with Chan or other practices, but pristine Pure Land. What Master Huijing was teaching made so much sense! After reading all the publications on the website and joining the Facebook group, I was starving for more of Master Shandao's teachings. I decided to reread the book by Master Honen that I had read five years ago, the same book that had aroused so much doubt in me. After a second reading, I felt that the teachings were identical with the Shandao lineage.“GRA. FAIA EA BOM WMATA, RAE TBI BEB”, ARE SEILER AE BR EO BABA CIMER, Acligit LAT ES AM, HG ZAMS, WBE.

Of course, we should strive to practice Amitabha- recitation constantly, but we should also practice in accordance with our actual conditions. So, rather than trying to find a block of time and reciting, I'm reciting freely whenever I can. I have no schedule. IT have time, I sit and recite; if not, I just recite “while walking, standing or lying down.” I go to work with the recitation of Master Huijing in my ears (I have the mp3 in my phone); likewise when I leave work.

PAACBTERBE HY nirvana, populated by great Bodhisattvas like Avalokitesvara, Mahasthamaprapta, Manjusti, and Samantabhadra, When I was relying on miscellaneous practices, it was different. I used to have a schedule: I need to recite this sutra, recite this mantra, do this, do that... I was putting pressure on myself because, on the Path of Sages, we need to progress constantly. Sometimes, when reciting sutras or sitting in meditation, I was experiencing so many afflictions that I worried my practice wouldn't even generate merit, I was always thinking that I needed to practice harder, study harder, Of course, I saw some results; when practicing mantras, for example, I would have dreams of Bodhisattvas speaking to me, but Buddhahood was still a far distant dream. And frankly speaking, I never take signs, visions or powers as signs of realization. What is the point of having some special ability if, at the end of our life, you fall into a bad destiny? On the contrary, the Easy Path is a simple and easy method that all ordinary people can practice. All can obtain rebirth and non-retrogression in this present life. ‘Namo Amitabha!edate SRM CE AMAR) » HE PEE, (RR MERAH HS KIBPL EAN OE EL, IRA te FLO PEI, 27H TERM Ro PMA ET ARES HGS BIT PAE, BRIDLE BCH OL 75UBIA.

Benefitting from the merit of Amitabha- recitation and lacking exposure to other schools, Dharma centers and Buddhist literature, Jingle is relatively simple and pure. He never worties if he has a deluded mind, or whether he could actually achieve rebirth, Nor is he concemed about how much merit there is in his recitations, ‘When he has time, he devotes it entirely to reciting Although we didn't spend much time together, I know he has great faith in Namo Amitabha Buddha, Let me share two more related accounts of Amitabha-recitation: Once, a relative of Jingle's had an amputation because of a medical condition. Though the wound appeared healed to bystanders, the amputee had developed a phantom limb pain after surgery and still felt intense soreness, Jingle suggested, and his relative agreed at once, that they should recite “Namo Amitabha Buddha” together. After about five minutes, the pain disappeared. It was truly amazing. Another time, a friend of Jingle’s had gone into a coma for more than a month after being treated for meningitis. When he came round, he lost his ability to speak. His wife worried that he would become mute for the rest of his life. Jingle went to see this friend and after understanding his condition, he asked him to recite Namo Amitabha Buddha right away, Jingle started reciting and, to everyone's surprise, his friend repeated the words after him seven times. Jingle was confident and said to his wife, “Don't worry. If your husband can recite Namo Amitabha Buddha, I promise you he will be able to talk again.” And Jingle was right. His friend, despite suffering ‘memory loss, can now speak normally. Many people, despite having read many sutras, aren't able to develop the deep faith in “Namo Amitabha Buddha” that Jingle has. This is probably what Master Shandao described as “developing faith through practice.” Often, the confidence cultivated through recitation is much stronger than that derived from reading texts,Buddha's Light Shines Through the Universe PULA MPR, JE SME, SHEN RAAB, EY HOI.

ESRF BTR BE My Dharma name is Jingle. 1 am 63 years old and a retired policeman living in Singapore. I started learning the Dharma and reciting the name of Amitabha Buddha when I was 40, Before that, I knew nothing about Buddhism. Given my past disposition and lifestyle, no one would believe I am now actually studying the Dharma. At the age of 40, I was diagnosed with a parotid tumor, The news came as the shock of my life. I always took for granted that a healthy body would last. Never did 1 imagine that one day I would suffer from this disease. Luckily, the tumor was benign. But some complications developed after the surgery to remove it. Tiny watery cysts formed in the sclera (white of the eye) of my left eye, which caused me severe pain, Though I followed the doctor's instruetion to apply eye drops and take pain killers, the aching persisted and I was in agony. I was extremely worried that I would go blind, At the same time, because some facial nerves were disrupted during the operation, my left cheek became numb. My face was contorted beyond recognition. It looked awful. This affliction, coupled with the unbearable pain in the eye, made me realize one thing: life truly is full ofEffects ZOE.

As a result, I was eager to seek help from Amitabha Buddha. It may be that my karmic connection with Amitabha had ripened. Just at that time, I came across an elderly Dharma master. He said to me, after leaming of my ordeal, “Just recite Namo Amitabha Buddha, Amitabha Buddha will certainly come and help you, and you will be fine.” I didn't know anything about the Dharma then, However, the old master was adamant and the pain in my eye was killing me. In desperation I could do little but rely on recitation of “Namo Amitabha Buddha.” I spent more than 40 days of my two-month sick leave reciting continually. On the evening of the 45th day, I had a dream in which I retuned to the rubber plantation in my hometown. Entering the plantation, 1 saw an old lady accompanied by two tall, strong men, She saw me and said, “There is spider silk in your eye.” No sooner had she said that than she used her fingers to poke my eye and pull out some very long spider thread. Startled, I woke up. I quietly rejoiced: It must have been a kind of resonance from Amitabha-recitation, even wondered whether the three persons in my dream were the Three Sacred Beings of the Land Of Bliss.

The facial contortion was also gone after 50 days. My eyes have since been normal I never stopped reciting Namo Amitabha Buddha, Unlike many of my friends, I didn't hop between Dharma schools to try and get on top of various practices. I just stuck with Amitabha-recitation alone, without even going to any Dharma centers. The experience with my eye ailment made me believe strongly that there is only one thing we need to do: recite Namo Amitabha Buddha. It was not until a year ago or so that I came across Master Shandao's Pure Land lineage. I came to realize that we just need to recite the name of Amitabha Buddha, and our rebirth in the Pure Land and our attainment of Buddhahood are assured. In this life, we become certain of extricating ourselves from rebirth in the Six Realms, We can achieve this entirely because of the power of Amitabha Buddha. I related to Shandao's thought at once and I knew that | had made the right decision Amitabha-recitation is easy, unique, splendid, It best suits people of modern society, particularly Singaporeans whoEffects PENT ESI Tal) UP ABA Wyss, AN BLARE IT PRA SORES ATT, AS SEE ALAIK Sh, Ai TERE AN Tes, BMA SAT. 2K 4, HEI BVIA-NAT, FE RAT AHR .

What remains for me to do is to “have faith and encourage others to have faith” in it, as Master Shandao exhorted us.

BTCA FART EAB AH, ABA OEIS, 2258 Dear Jasni: Thank you for your question. Sorry for this belated reply. Based on what you have described, it is highly possible that your sister's mother-in-law was reborn in the Pure Land immediately after her death. First, she had been able to predict her own time of departure, which is quite unusual for most people. Secondly, she passed away peacefully, which is enviable. And finally, there appeared to be different kinds of signs in her body to suggest that she had most likely achieved rebirth in the Pure Land. Dreams cannot be relied upon as evidence of rebirth or otherwise. That is because dreams can be influenced by manyIndonesian Old Lady Was Rebom in the Land of Aang, bel SAA EE.

If you or your sister's family still do not feel relieved, to keep reciting “Namo Amituofo” is always the best option, May we ask what is your first language? Is it possible for us to have more information about the background of this old lady and more details relating to her rebirth?

You know what, the best prayers and dedication comes from her dearest families since family members enjoy the strongest bond between each other. Most. importantly, the Pure Land of Amituofo has no differentiation at all. So there is no so- called lower or higher level. Once she has obtained her rebirth, she gets it all, nothing left out, nothing to worry about. Actually, we, who are still in this saha world fall of pains and sorrows, need more bless from Amituofo.

We feel so sorry to hear about your nephew's sufferings. Thank you for trusting us so much that you tell us the deepest feelings of yours. People all suffer from some kind of sorrows in their lives for one reason or another, hidden or apparent, since no one is perfect and no life is perfect either. This kind of imperfection universally exists and necessarily leads to all sorts of pains of mankind, Has it ever occur to you that we are all pitiful? So you are not alone, in terms of being painful. This is why we need beliefs, religious beliefs, and to be more specific, Buddhist beliefs for ultimate salvation. ‘Your letter shows that you haven't given up and is still in the hope of helping him out, as well as helping your family out. Hope is one of the most important and beautiful things in the world, isn' it? And behind your hope, we see your compassion for this big, strong, handsome young man, As you may already know, compassion is one of the coreWEE. REZ CA DT T AF, RAGE ERE TBAT lS RAIA.

Thanks to your question, wwe are inspired to think about how we could be of any help in the future.

It is not required that you recite the name with a calm and peaceful mind, but, the other way round, you would enjoy a calm and peaceful mind in the name of infinite light and infinite life. Take it easy, because the Amitabha Buddha takes it all for us. All of our recitation will be dedicated to you, your nephew and your parents. Namo Amituofo! ‘The Pure Land Buddhison Editorial Team PSS.
