THEG-CHOG NORBU-I GA-DZONG
Meditation Practice on the
Buddha Amitabha
Usually, to enter a buddha-realm, one must have developed considerable merit and removed even the most subtle obscuration; kept very pure samaya, and have attained the first bodhisattva level. Therefore, it is extremely difficult to enter a buddha-realm for ordinary beings. However, due to Amitabha's strong wishing-prayers, anyone who makes a sincere wishing-prayer to go to Dewachen, can be reborn there, regardless to having or not purified non-virtuous karma or reached freedom from disturbing emotions.
The practice of Amitabha leads to the realization of discriminating awareness, which opens to inner wisdom that transcends grasping. It is essential to the development of non-conceptual limitless loving kindness.
Requested by the three main Bodhisattvas, Manjushri, Chenrezig and Vajrapani, Lord Budha Sakyamuni taught the Sutra of the Pure Realm of Dewachen.
