"If you practice correctly, you know the Buddha is already in your own heart, that God is already in your own heart. You can see that the Pure Land, that the Buddha is right here in your own heart. God is not somewhere else. If you study the Christian mystics, you can see that God is right here. In Plum Village we have often said, 'The Pure Land is here or now.' Nirvana is not a realm you attain after you die. Nirvana is something that is available right here and now. We have to put nirvana in the right place: right here and right now. Nirvana is here and now."
