    I suggest you read "The Buddha Says the Amitabha Sutra" and "The Buddha Says the Mahayana Amitayus Solemn, Pure and Equal Enlightenment Sutra", which are very clear.

    Make a wish to be reborn in the Western Bliss and recite the holy name of the Buddha and Bodhisattva. I wish to be born in the Pure Land of the West, with the Nine Rank Lotus as my parents.

    The Western Elysium is the Pure Land of Mida, and the Pure Land of Buddhism is immeasurable. For example, the Medicine Master Pure Land is also known as the Pure Glass World, and the Huayan Pure Land is the Pure Land of the Dharmakaya Buddha Bilujana.

    The Pure Land refers to the pure land and the solemn land, that is, the solemn place where the pure merit is located. It is the Buddha and Bodhisattva who have achieved the great power of their original aspirations in order to transform all sentient beings. Because there are all the Buddhas and Bodhisattvas of the Ten Directions and the Three Worlds, there are alsoThe immeasurable pure land of the ten directions

    For example, Maitreya Pure Land, Mida Pure Land, Medicine Master Pure Land, Huazang Pure Land, Vima Pure Land. The great wish of Shakyamuni Buddha is to purify the world and transform the land into a pure land, which also belongs to the category of Pure Land thought.

    The Pure Land thought has a positive meaning and value in the present world, and it is also an important method of spiritual practice.

    The Pure Land in the narrow sense refers specifically to the Pure Land of Bliss in the West, which is due to the special promotion of the idea of Mida in China, Japan, and Korea. In addition, because of the admiration of the Sutras such as the Sutra of the Buddha and the Sutra of Amitabha, as well as the promotion of the great virtues of the great monks of the past dynasties, there is the trend of the so-called "Eight Sects of Domination" of "all the scriptures and ten thousand theories, leading to bliss", therefore, the Pure Land Buddhism based on the thought of Amitabha has an important position in the history of Buddhism in China, Japan and Korea.

    China's Pure Land sect from the Lushan Huiyuan master advocated the Pure Land thought, through the Northern Wei Dynasty Tan Luan, the Tang Dynasty Shandao, Dao Xuan, Ci Chu and other masters to promote the propagation, with the migration of the times, more and more loved by future generations, and Zen Buddhism, for the most profound influence on Chinese Buddhism, folk beliefs. Nowadays, due to the vigorous promotion of eminent monks such as Master Jingkong, the Pure Land of Mida has been widely spread around the world, and the number of scholars and achievers at home and abroad has also increased, making significant contributions to the purification of the atmosphere of modern society.

    Mahayana Buddhism is the education of great wisdom and great philosophy, rather than a simple religion, and other religious teachings have heaven and other facilities, and Buddhism believes that the way of heaven is also among the six paths, to go out of the six realms, out of reincarnation, only nirvana, reincarnated as a Buddha. For the average believer, this seems distant. Some Buddhists believe that Taoism belongs to the way of heaven, which is a wrong statement, that the Chinese gods are not equal to the Indian heavens (i.e., the heavenly beings of the Buddhist family), and that the pursuit of liberation is important, and that you must not dwarf your ancestors.

    The relevant scriptures of the Pure Land doctrine give believers confidence, and the practice method is simple and integrated into life, and "developing bodhichitta and concentrating on it all the time, and purifying the mind one after another" is the basic way of practice. The Pure Land ideology contains many elements of positive benevolence, so it also plays a certain role in promoting social harmony.

    Countless hundreds of billions of Buddhas can all be reborn. But you need to be able to attain the emptiness of karma and see your nature clearly. Only when one attains the attainment of not retreating from the bodhisattva body can one be reborn in the land of the Buddhas.

    Only in the Western Elysium, there is Amitabha Buddha to guide sentient beings and bring karma to the Pure Land of Bliss. Therefore, all the Buddhas of the ten directions praised Amitabha Buddha in the Pure Land of Bliss.

    It's not that simple. Here's how:

    1. Make a vow + chant Buddha. This is the premise, it is the Pure Land practice method of "self-power + other power", so that the Western Elysium will sense a lotus flower, so that after passing away on the earth, it will be reborn in this lotus flower in the Western Elysium;

    2. Lotus rebirth: According to the practice of this person before his death, he will be reborn in different grades of lotus, from the lower grade to the upper grade, a total of nine grades, referred to as "nine lotus";

    3. Flowers bloom to see Buddha: According to the different qualities of lotus flowers incarnated by this person, the time of flower blooming (calculated according to the time of the earth) is different. For example:

    1) Superior quality: a lifetime is opened, immediate;

    2) Top-grade middle students: open after overnight, 12 hours, that is, one night;

    3) Upper grade and lower life: one day and one night, that is, 24 hours.

    4) Zhongpin Shangsheng: Lotus blossom is open. 24 hours later. The Buddhist scriptures are not clear enough, and the inference is three days.

    5) Zhongpin Zhongsheng: After seven days. In connection with the expression of the following sentence, the inference is 6 days;

    6) Middle-grade birth: after seven days. That is, 7 days;

    7) Inferior and upper: after seven or seven days. i.e. 49 days;

    8) Inferior middle life: through the six tribulations. 6 catastrophes (catastrophe is the great amount of time timed by Buddhism, one catastrophe = 100 million years), that is, 100 million years;

    9) Inferior Quality: Twelve Tribulations. 12 great eons, that is, 100 million years.

    According to the record of "The Buddha Says Amitayus Sutra", "Since Amitabha Buddha became a Buddha, there have been ten eons today." In this way, Amitabha Buddha has been a Buddha for hundreds of millions of years, so the Buddha told this sutra 2,500 years ago, when he cultivated the Pure Land Method, some people can't cultivate it, and it is estimated that it has not bloomed until now! If it is a lower grade and a lower life, even if Amitabha Buddha has just established the Pure Land of Bliss, until now, this lotus flower will have to wait for hundreds of millions of years before it blooms!

    4. Cultivation of Fruit: After the flower blooms and sees the Buddha, you can start to practice, and cultivate to the positive fruit, referred to as "Fruit". The time it takes for people of different qualities to attain positive results is also different

    1) Superior Birth: that is, to realize "no life and forbearance", and to realize the Bodhisattva of the first place (joyfully) in a short time;

    2) Superior middle life: After a small calamity, there is no way to endure life, and 168 million years to prove the Bodhisattva of the first earth.

    3) Upper grade and lower life: After three small tribulations, live in the land of joy, 504 million years to prove the Bodhisattva of the first land.

    4) Middle-grade students: When the time comes, you can get the Arhat Road. For a short period of time, the arhat fruit is proven.

    5) Zhongsheng in the middle grade: After half a catastrophe, he became an arhat, and he was certified as an arhat for 8.4 million years.

    6) Middle-grade next life: After a small tribulation, he became an arhat, and he was certified as an arhat for 168 million years.

    7) Inferior and upper-grade: After ten small tribulations, you can enter the first place. 100 million years of the Bodhisattva of the First Earth.

    8) Inferior middle life: After the flower blooms, when you hear the Dharma, you will develop bodhicitta and the fruit will be in the position for a long time.

    9) Inferior products and lower births: When the flowers bloom, they hear the Dharma, that is, they develop bodhicitta and the time for attaining the fruit position is very long and billions of years.

    If there is no way to succeed in the cultivation of the Sampa World, you can go to the Western Elysium to continue your efforts! Therefore, it should be emphasized that in the Western Elysium after rebirth, it is not that you have already become a Buddha, but that you can continue to work hard and continue to practice; There are many people who misunderstand that when it comes to Western Elysium, you will become a Buddha, and it will take a long time to become a Buddha. Because we can continue to practice when we go to Elysium, we can get a kind of guarantee of cultivation, so we need to cherish it!

    To be reborn in Elysium is to become a Buddha. Because Amitabha's eleventh vow will be extinguished, and the wish is to make the deceased become a Buddha.

    The eleventh vow is to let me become a Buddha, the heavenly people in the country, and those who do not stop gathering will be destroyed, and they will not attain enlightenment.

    The eleventh vow is fulfilled, and those who have all beings born in other countries are all living in the gathering of righteousness.

    The gathering of positive concentration is that it will not retreat, it is extinction, it is nirvana, that is, it becomes a Buddha.

    But to know what is the rebirth, it is not the death that ordinary people say, but the power of the Buddha's vows.

    All sentient beings, hearing his name, rejoicing in faith, and even dedicating their hearts to another country, will be reborn, and will not retreat. That's how he died.

    All sentient beings, as long as they hear and believe in the name of Amitabha Buddha, the name is Nam no Amitabha. Even with this wish to be reborn in the Amitabha Buddha's Blissful Pure Land, he will immediately obtain the identity of the rebirth.

    No! The Western Elysium is indeed out of the sea of suffering. However, they are far from becoming Buddhas, just beings in the Western Elysium. It is acceptable how Amitabha Buddhism practiced the method of non-action, and practicing the method of non-action is the way to become a Buddha.

    What superpowers do people who have died in the Western Elysium? They don't have any superpowers, they just live a carefree and happy life, aren't people just to be happy? So they've already gotten superpowers, so why do they need superpowers?

    According to Buddhist theory, a person who has been reborn in the Pure Land of Bliss is a person who has passed away"After death, the soul of a person is led to the Western Elysium by Amitabha Buddha, and it is impossible for a person living in the world to reach the Pure Land of Bliss, because his physical body is mortal! And to be reborn in the Western Pure Land of Bliss, not everyone is qualified after death, but before death, they need to practice to accumulate merit, eat vegetarian food for life, abstain from all desires, cannot get married, and recite Buddhist scriptures n times n times a day, and after their death, their souls may be led to the Western Pure Land of Bliss by the Buddha of Amitabha Buddha, and the six realms of reincarnation will be avoided! He didn't have superpowers during his lifetime.

    Even if you have superpowers, you can do good deeds and accumulate virtues, and you should not act rashly, otherwise you will not be qualified to be reborn in the Pure Land of Bliss!

    If you want to live forever, you must attain the Arhat rank and above. The scriptures are recorded, the Buddha has taught, the three ways of liberation, such as coming, Pizhi, and arhat. Western Elysium, as far as I know, has no such description.

    In fact, after thinking about it, whether it should be or not, you should know it. In addition to liberation, there are five realms of reincarnation. So what is the Western Elysium?

    The human realm, the heavenly realm, and the three evil realms. The path to liberation has already been determined, and there is no such thing. So what is Western Elysium?

    After thinking about it, you should be able to understand.
