    Elysium now generally refers to the "Western Elysium" under the jurisdiction of Amitabha Buddha.

    It is the hope that we can be fellow practitioners and be reborn in that world after death. Although self-cultivation to become a Buddha can reach the realm of a first-floor person, it is really difficult for mortals to cultivate to the six Arhat fruit levels, let alone become a Buddha in this life.

    It's not that you're diligent or not in this life, it's the sum total strength of your practice from life to life. Therefore, for people nowadays, it is best to cultivate the Pure Land and rebirth in the Western Elysium.

    So how big is Western Elysium? He's not in heaven!

    The Western Elysium is governed by Amitabha Buddha, and one Buddha governs the three thousand worlds.

    A small world is equivalent to 3,000 galaxies.

    It's so big, a galaxy called Mount Meru.

    In fact, the size of Mount Meru recorded in the Buddhist scriptures should be much larger than the bank system estimated by scientific instruments. A Mount Meru includes six complete paths, the Heavenly Immortal Dao, the Heavenly Beings, etc., on the top of Mount Meru, and there are many layers and many types. Then 3,000 Mount Meru is a small thousand worlds, 3,000 small thousand is a middle thousand world, and 3,000 middle thousand worlds are a large thousand worlds.

    This is the scope of a Buddha's administration, so to speak, of the Western Elysium.

    As for hell, it is not said whether there is one Mount Meru, or only one in the land of a Buddha...

    Different people will give different answers to your question, but I'm just going to give you a little bit of my opinion.

    In fact, hell and heaven (Hell or Elysium) are one and the same, that is, the real world in which we live at the moment, and for a liberated being, the present is Bliss, and this place is also heaven; And for those who are suffering from needles, this life is the world of samsara or hell, and this life is for the atonement of sins and karma.

    If you can see through the root of suffering and turn the duality into one world, then Elysium will be presented in front of you, and the present moment is Bliss!

    Buddhism is not superstitious, the real Buddhism is a kind of learning that goes beyond psychology, which can make people live happier and more relieved.

    Amitabha! According to my understanding:

    1. Elysium does have three good paths, and the ultimate goal of going to Elysium is to become a Buddha and purify all sentient beings! If you don't have this wish, you don't have to be born in Sidi.

    2. Ten thousand eons are only seen in one thought, Amitabha Buddha will be nirvana, how can people not become Arhat Bodhisattvas!

    3. If you go to the way of heaven, there are changes and magical powers, more than pleasure, and it is not easy to know suffering, so the general great virtues advocate the cultivation of Buddha in the human body!

    Elysium is a Buddhist concept that refers to a world of great beauty, a state in which people can attain eternal happiness and joy. In Buddhism, Elysium is the abbreviation of Western Elysium, and it is an important concept in Buddhism.

    According to legend, Elysium was presided over by Amitabha Buddha, and this world is filled with endless happiness, peace, and kindness. In this world, there is no pain, no fear, no sickness, no death, and all people can attain eternal happiness and joy. Elysium is full of palaces, buildings, lecture halls, and retreats, either on the ground or in the air, all of which are made of all kinds of treasures, and are covered by various jewels and bells, which are magnificent and wonderful.

    Elysium is full of beautiful Seven Treasure Pools, as big as a lake, the bottom of the pool is paved with golden sand, the edge of the pool is the solemn stairs of treasures, and the pool is full of water of eight merits that taste like nectar.

    In Elysium, people can get all kinds of rewards, such as food, **, dance, art, etc., and at the same time, they can also get endless wisdom and compassion. Around the steps, there are rows of fragrant treasure trees, and the trees are covered with many treasure nets. The scenes of the Buddha Kingdom in the ten directions that people want to know can be reflected among the treasure trees, as clear as looking in a mirror.

    When the breeze blows, the treasure tree and the treasure net emit a subtle sound, like a hundred thousand heavenly music playing at the same time, which makes people naturally recite the Buddha, the Dharma, and the Sangha.

    In conclusion, Elysium is an ideal state in Buddhism, a world full of happiness, peace, and kindness. It is an important concept in Buddhism, representing people's yearning and pursuit of happiness and joy.
