Everywhere Is A Pure Land

“When you experience that phenomena are unreal,
you will then be free from the concept of self and other, right and wrong, and free from the afflictions of greed, hatred, worry and pride. You will not need to search for peace and purity, and you will not need to detest evil afflictions and impurity.

Although you live in the world of phenomenal reality, to you, any environment is a Buddha’s Pure Land. To an unenlightened person, you are but an ordinary person. To you, all ordinary people are identical with Buddha.

You will feel that your own self-nature is the same as that of all Buddhas, and the self-nature of Buddhas is universal throughout time and space. You will spontaneously apply your wisdom and wealth, giving to all sentient beings everywhere, throughout all time and space.”
