Why go to Amitabha Buddha's Pure Land and not other Pure Lands

Pure Land Buddhism

Show Notes

Among the infinite Buddhas and infinite Pure Lands, why does Shakyamuni Buddha repeatedly encourage us to seek rebirth in Amitabha Buddha’s Pure Land? Because Amitabha Buddha made 48 Great Vows specifically to save ordinary beings like us who are still trapped in samsara (especially the 18th vow). Other Pure Lands certainly exist, but many require a high level of spiritual attainment to enter. Amitabha Buddha’s Pure Land is unique because it is open to all beings who have faith, vows, and practice, especially through reciting Amitabha Buddha’s Name.
