How to Attain Rebirth in the Pure Land?
A pure land means there is no evil, no suffering, no worry, sorrow, or affliction. From a Buddha's perspective, no matter where he goes he is in a pure land because a Buddha's karmic blessings and wisdom is the same wherever he goes. If we can eliminate our anger, hatred, greed, discontent, and jealousy, and cultivate a state of mind that is pure, serene, content, and carefree, then we will see a pure land everywhere.
