I am very grateful to all those involved in the making of this video. I have been a ch'an practitioner for about three years; I viewed this video some time ago and re-found it recently. This video has an immense help in deepening my practice , it helped me to develop a recitation practice that works for me. namo amituofo!

[@johnrkillick3342]

Massive thumbs up from your fellow practitioner, John :)

Thank you very much for this quality video and your introduction to Pure Land Buddhism. I am a German national and live in China since four years. About one year ago my Buddhist journey began and I believe in Amida Buddha ever since. Not least due to this video, which I watched for guidance and help. Namo Amituofo!

[@wolfhausmann1432]

hallo! Ich habe auch gerade erst das video gesehen und war mehr als sprachlos, aber im positiven sinn! Als langjähriger buddhist habe ich vor kurzem den taoismus entdeckt und darüber wiederrum den reine land buddhismus. Vielleicht kannst Du mir auf deutsch mehr darüber erzählen? leider gibt es hier in deutschland keine literatur darüber. mglg Wolf

Great to hear, Constantin, that you put your faith in Amida Buddha!!! Ich bin sicher, dass du im westlichen reinen Land wiedergeboren wirst! From your fellow practitioner, John, from Australia, but often in China.

Incredible, just an incredible meditation. I felt an enormously wave of energy flowing through and all around me. It was so incredible to me, it distracted me and came out my meditative state! I can't wait to try it again tomorrow! Lol I think I know what to do now.

In Hinduism there are many pure lands with the same 'pure land' concepts. Of these multitude of 'pure lands', seven pure lands are very important. Pure land concept is a mental or psychological or subjective concept. Its within the realm of consciousness only. But it MAY help go beyond consciousness.

@@PureLandBuddhism thank-you. I opened a new buddist modern school using KZbin and posts on fb(now I am doing welfare of the word against dictatorship but I mix). I made a video about pure lands (plural). If you like to look at them and give me your opinion. I started with few videos in english and in italien. May all living beings obtain illumination.
