Chanting Amitabha To Become Amitabha
Amitabha is the original source of the Buddha-nature body of all Buddha of the past, the present and the future from ten directions of the universe, also the life essence of all living beings of the past, the present and the future from ten directions of the universe; everyone inherently is Amitabha.
However, all living beings with one unenlightened thought, loses oneself in the suffering sea, unaware one inherently is a Buddha. Amitabha sees this so he arises with an infinite merciful mind and pledges magnificent vows to build the Bliss World and grants his name for people to chant single-mindedly; to gather infinite beings to go and be born in the Bliss World of Amitabha Pure Land, to attain Buddha enlightenment in perfection and restore one’s true self.
This is the forty-eight great vows of Amitabha pledged. It has received praise from Buddha of the ten directions, all Tathagata proclaim it for eternal existence of the world-periods; thousand Sutras myriad theories all refer and return to this. The Ten Great Vows of Pu-Xian Bodhisattva (Samantabhadra – Universal Worthy) also directs to the Bliss World of Amitabha Pure Land. These supreme great vows are as deep and vast as an ocean to have perfect Buddha attainment in this life at high speed.
If there is a living being unforgetting the name of Amitabha every thought-moment, and wholeheartedly chants Amitabha, this is known as “chanting Amitabha”. In addition, the chanting Amitabha person further should make a vow to go to be born in the Bliss World of Amitabha Pure Land, to recover one’s life essence, to become Amitabha in perfection; this is known as “chanting Amitabha to become Amitabha”. *(All people should know: If you do not make a vow to go
and be born in the Pure Land of Amitabha, even if you attain Chanting Amitabha Samadhi, you will still be unable to go to be born in the Amitabha Pure Land to attain Buddha’s enlightenment expressly. Why? It is because that does not correspond with the original pledged vow of Amitabha. Therefore, Amitabha has no grounds to meet and receive. Besides chanting Amitabha wholeheartedly, you also need to make a vow to be born in the Bliss World of Amitabha Pure Land, this way is called the utmost fulfillment of the whole. Be sure to remember this! Be sure to remember this!)
Now, the Great-Strength Bodhisattva (Maha-stamaprapta) of the Three Saints of the West who aids Amitabha to propagate and influence with this incredible method of “chanting Amitabha to become Amitabha”, to gather all living beings who chant Amitabha universally to go and be born in the Bliss World of Amitabha Pure Land, to perfect one’s Bodhi ( perfect enlightenment) and to become the supreme Mahasattva (great being) attains the Buddha’s enlightenment perfectly!
Here I explain publicly The Chapter of the Surangama Sutra: The Great-Strength Bodhisattva (Maha-stamaprapta) chants (mindful ness) Amitabha in perfection to become Buddha; this is the supreme Mahasattva using this method of chanting (mindfulness) Amitabha in perfection to become Buddha to teach all living beings:
With the power to gather all six sense organs (six roots), chanting Amitabha continuously.
One can achieve Chanting Amitabha Samadhi and further reach the state of:
Without the aid of expedients, their minds naturally awake by themselves.
Becoming the master of yourself to go to be born in the Bliss World of Amitabha Pure Land, is the supreme revelation to have perfect
attainment of “chanting Amitabha to become Amitabha” at high speed. Also, this supreme revelation is extremely accurate and an important point for all living beings of the present, past and future from the ten directions of the universe to become Buddha.
Admittedly, chanting (mindfulness) Amitabha in perfection to become Buddha is the unsurpassed Prajna of recovering one’s life essence. It is the easiest, simplest, fastest, the most perfect and unex celled expedient way to attain Buddha enlightenment. Hold forth to all Buddha’s original mind content of praising together by “all Tathagata from the ten directions and Shakyamuni Buddha’s personal proclama tions”. This is the supreme incredible method of going and teaching boundless beings and benefiting groups of the unenlightened ones universally. In fact, it is the most honored one amongst all Buddha teachings, the king of kings. Now arriving at the end of winter and the beginning of Spring, the day which all things take on a new start, I look forward to The Chapter of the Surangama Sutra: The Great-Strength Bodhisattva (Maha-stamaprapta) chants (mindfulness) Amitabha in perfection to become Buddha to be a widely expedient way for all living beings to become Buddha. Wishing all living beings to be on an express course to go and be born to the Bliss World of Amitabha Pure Land. All become Amitabha.
Although we are currently in the period of degeneration and extermination of Buddha teaching, we can still rely on originally pledged vow power of Amitabha’s support to meet and receive all chanting Amitabha persons who have made a vow to go and to be born to the Bliss World of Amitabha Pure Land, to become Buddha in perfection at high speed. Thus, eternally detaching from the reincarnation suffering sea. After 9000 years, Buddha teachings would be all extinguished, but Amitabha’s name gathers all living beings with affinity and helps all confused ones universally. Today, we are so fortunate to encounter
this utmost incredible method, how can we not truly chant (mindful ness) Amitabha and truly make a vow to become Buddha with full strength, and wholeheartedly promote this method to repay Buddha’s kindness and obliged to collaborate with all sentient beings towards enlightenment?
This is exquisite; chanting Amitabha to become Amitabha is fulfillment of the whole! It is fortunate! It is worth rejoicing!
Amitabha!
