I hope your channel stays active for a long time so many more ppl can benefit. The info you're putting out is exceptional. Thank you 🙏 Namo Amitabha Buddha
( Dialogue with Ancient Masters ) says: "The Western Pure Land is described as being ten billion Buddha lands away from here only with respect to the limited concept of ordinary people with eyes of flesh and blood,mired in Birth and Death. For those who have attained the Pure karma of rebirth,the Mind in samadhi at the time of death is precisely the Mind reborn in the Pure Land ... as soon as the thought ( of rebirth ) arises,rebirth is achieved. Thus,the Meditation Sutra states that the land of Amitabha Buddha is not far from here! Moreover,the power of karma is inconceivable. In the space of one thought, rebirth in the Pure Land is achieved. There is no need to worry about distance. " This is analogous to a person asleep and dreaming. Although his body is on the bed,his mind can travel to any faraway place as though he were awake. Rebirth in the Pure Land is,generally speaking,similar to this example...

“You, monks, should not thus cultivate the perception (samjna) of impermanence, suffering and non-Self, the perception of impurity and so forth, deeming them to be the true meaning [of the Dharma], as those people [searching in a pool for a radiant gem but foolishly grabbing hold of useless pebbles, mistaken for priceless treasure] did, each thinking that bits of brick, stones, grass and gravel were the jewel. You should train yourselves well in efficacious means. In every situation, constantly meditate upon [bhavana] the perception [samjna] of the Self, the perception of the Eternal, Bliss, and the Pure … Those who, desirous of attaining Reality [tattva], meditatatively cultivate these perceptions, namely, the perception of the Self [atman], the Eternal, Bliss, and the Pure, will skilfully bring forth the jewel, just like that wise person [who obtained the genuine, priceless gem, rather than worthless detritus misperceived as the real thing.]” - Buddha, Chapter Three, “Grief”,The Mahayana Mahaparinirvana Sutra
You know, scholars in early Buddhism do *not* discount any Buddhist idea of the *soul*, or *spirit*. Rather it is the unflinching, and unchanging, or *thought consciousness* (which the Tibetans call a "mindstream). Of course, this too is flexible, reliant upon our own origination, and finite. Namu Amida Butsu!
Personally, I was chasing the Millenium Prize so that then I could retire young, live comfortably for a while and do some more maths. That was the plan at some stage. Apart from that, I find shamanism and especially fakirism particularly of use. Why do you ask? :)
Amituofo 🙏 A stream entrant is someone who has realised the Dharma and opened their Dharma eye. Some Buddhists also relate the stream to the 10 fetters, and a stream entrant would be someone who has dropped the first 3. Hope this helps, Namo Amituofo 🙏✨
This is a very logical yet humble way to explain the merit of the Pure Land. Thank you! Namo Amituofo, Namo Guan Shi Yin Pusa 🙏🙏🙏

Hi is a stream enterer someone who had one glimpse of their true nature? They know who they truly are, but they have not yet able to hold that state.
