When dying, can Western Bliss return to the world? Are there still memories of the world?

I don't think I can go back to the world, there may be memories of the world, but there is no meaning.

AmitabhaRebirth in the Western Elysium is immediately equivalent to becoming a Buddha. One life as a Buddha. After becoming a Buddha, what else can not be reborn in the Western Elysium, not only can you immediately return to the human world on this earth with your fate, but you can also go to other universes and other earths with your fate, and you can also go to any of the six realms to save sentient beings.

Master Jingkong--- So if you want to ask, when will I go to Elysium, when will I be able to come back in Cihang to save sentient beings? Just go to the Elysian World and meet Amitabha Buddha, and you will have the ability to return to the world of samsara and reach out to all sentient beings. Why?

You have been blessed by Amitabha. As mentioned here, the supernatural powers, the divine intellect, the infinite gods, the ultimate penetration, the accessibility, the power of the gods, you have all of them, all of them are sufficient.

In this world, you should educate sentient beings with the body of a Buddha, and you will be able to manifest the body of a Buddha, just like Shakyamuni Buddha; You should enlighten sentient beings in the form of a bhikshu, and you will appear as a bhikshu, just like the Sixth Patriarch Master Huineng. You should naturally appear in whatever body you want, and you don't have any thoughts. What is it?

This is clear, unambiguous is not the meaning, so this is incredible.

No. When people die, everything is gone. But considering the law of material immortality: the ashes of a person can be returned to the world after death.

When I reach Elysium in the West, it is impossible for me to return to the world, how can you live again when you die? So only when I went to the Western Elysium did I know that I had truly left the world.

Of course, you can, and you can even say that if you want to attain Buddhahood, you have to go back to the human world to purify all sentient beings. Elysium is just a place where the atmosphere of cultivation is very good, and the initiates are all bodhisattvas and Buddhas, who will not fall, and after cultivation, they still have to purify sentient beings in order to achieve Buddhahood.

Mahayana Amitayus Sutra Zhongyun: ...All sentient beings, those who are born in our country, will be made up for the rest of their lives. In addition to his original wish for the sake of all sentient beings, he was sworn to educate all sentient beings, and they all had faith, cultivated Bodhi, and practiced the path of universal virtue.

Although he was born in another world, he will never be free from evil tastes. Or enjoy the Dharma, or listen to the Dharma, or manifest the Divine Feet, practice at will, and all of them are complete.

Therefore, if you go to Elysium, you can not only come back, but also go back to the world, you will be a bodhisattva, with supernatural powers, wisdom without hindrance, transcendence and freedom in the world, and the universality of sentient beings in immeasurable.

If you are reborn in the Western Elysium, you can return to the human world to be reincarnated if you want, instead of coming back in the image of the Western Elysium, and you can only communicate with people through reincarnation or dreaming. Generally speaking, no one wants to come back to Ren who went to the Western Elysium, because that place is so happy and beautiful, and if you really go, I'm afraid you won't want to come back if you make you the Jade Emperor. So don't worry about not coming back, just worry about not being able to go.

Also worried that you don't want to come back.

Question: What about people who are reborn in the Western Elysium, do he still have memories on earth? If you can't keep the memories of the world, then who enjoys bliss? What is the point of a person going to Elysium?

Venerable Honghai replied: This is a very classic question. First of all, we have to understand and confirm, what is memory?

Memory is the product of time and space barrier, because of the things that have passed a long time and he remembers them again. Or he can still remember that many years have happened in that situation, and the time and space are intertwined and he has the coordinates of memory.

So let me tell you the most basic common sense, what does Amitabha Buddha mean when translated into Chinese? It's called immeasurable light, immeasurable longevity. It sounds very mysterious, and to put it bluntly, it is to break the shackles of time and space, and completely get rid of time and space.

So from this point of view, memory certainly exists, but it is no longer the so-called memory that we usually understand.

After being reborn in the Western Elysium, not only do you have a memory, but you also have a greater understanding and vastness. Now what we call memory can only be the memory of this life's events, when I was a child, when I was young, when I was young, after middle age to old age, this memory is very narrow. What is his memory of actually being reborn in the West?

It is not by virtue of the retention and recollection of thoughts, but because the bodhisattvas who have been reborn in the Western Elysium all have six supernatural powers. One of these supernatural powers is called Karma, which not only remembers himself, but also all beings in the world.

Not only can he see the things in this life, but also the immeasurable lifetimes and lifetimes, how he transferred from that life to this life, why he went up to the heavenly realm, why he went down to the evil realm, and the reincarnation of the six realms, he can see at a glance. And you must know that memory sometimes makes mistakes, but this kind of observation is not wrong. He is what he sees after his mind is opened, and he is aware of the existence and occurrence of this phenomenon in all the causes and conditions.

So I don't know if you're afraid that you will leave a lot of good things in this world after you die, and you won't be able to recall them when the time comes, is that true? Don't be afraid, you can be sure to recall, but it's not a human way to remember. In this case, once the barrier of time and space is broken, it is no longer an act of memory, but a vision of the present, which is the greatest meaning of our rebirth in the Western Elysium.

There is no Amitabha Buddha in the south!

Question: The Myoho-renge-kyo says that we were originally Buddhas, but now we are lost, so will we be lost again after we are reborn in the Western Elysium and become Buddhas?

Venerable Da'an replied: That's not how you understand it, you misunderstood. The Myoho-renge-kyo tells us:

We all have Buddha nature, it doesn't mean that we are already Buddhas and then we will be lost, that's not what it means. It's like a piece of ore that has gold. You can only say that the ore contains gold, but you can't say that the ore is gold at the moment.

It must go through the process of smelting and extract the ** from the ore, so that it can be called gold, and it will never return to the original state of the ore, which is such a reason.

We have Buddha nature, but our ignorance is full of afflictions, so it's called "Nyoraizang" – the Nyoraizang nature in our afflictions. Once we have studied the Buddha and know this, we should start practicing and get rid of our afflictions. Cutting off all the confusion, thinking, dust, sand, and ignorance, all of them are cut off, that is, out of the entanglement.

This is like coming out of the ore, and it will come out forever. When you become a Buddha, you will never be lost again, and you will never return to the state of ore when you become a **, which is such a truth.

Tiantai six is the Buddha, at the beginning is the reason is the Buddha, the reason is the Buddha is all living beings have the Buddha nature, and then you have to go through the name is the Buddha, the contemplation is the Buddha, the similarity is the Buddha, the separation is the Buddha, and the sixth is the Buddha, at this time you can say that you have become a Buddha. So, when we go to the Western Elysium, we get the Dharma-forbearance of lifelessness, and we will never be lost again, but if we can't be reborn in the Western Elysium, and we only have cultivated a little merit in this world, but we see that our confusion is not broken, and we continue to reincarnate, then we will be lost. After experiencing the mystery of separating yin, the original merit and wisdom have almost disappeared.

But there will be a certain number of good roots, and after reincarnation, he may be a little smarter, like the five sparrows touching the ancestral ring Zen master, one reincarnated as Su Dongpo, but then reincarnated two or three times, maybe one life is not as good as the first life, he will be lost. To go to the West or to Elysium is to become a state of eternal enlightenment.
