'pure land: The power-field of a buddha; a beyond-personal, unconditioned, joyful state of mind in which all conditions for Buddhist practice for realization and enlightenment exist, and great merit can be accumulated.
The most well-known Pure Land is The Pure Land of Highest Joy (Dewachen) of the Buddha of Limitless Light.
See also Phowa.'
-- Quoted from 'Fearless Death' book by Lama Ole Nydahl.
Pure Land of Highest Joy.
'Pure Land of Highest Joy (Skt. Sukhavati, Tib. Dewachen): The pure land of Buddha of Limitless Light.
It is particularly easy to reach through practices on the Buddha of Limitless Light and Phowa.'
-- Quoted from 'Fearless Death' book by Lama Ole Nydahl.
Buddha of Limitless Light.
'Buddha of Limitless Light (Skt. Amitabha, Tib. Öpame): Buddha of discriminating wisdom, ruby-colored and sitting.
His hands rest in his lap and hold a bowl with the nectar of highest accomplishment.
His realm of consciousness is the Pure Land of Highest Joy (Dewachen), which beings with strong wishes are able to reach thanks to this buddha's previous promises.'
-- Quoted from 'Fearless Death' book by Lama Ole Nydahl.
Blog author's comments.
Long time ago i made a wish to reincarnate in a Buddhist family.
i wish to keep this wish, enhancing it with a wish to reincarnate in a Buddhist family in Buddha Amitabha's Pure Land of Highest Joy.
In Buddha Amitabha's Pure Land of Highest Joy beings may develop & accumulate merit still, way to Enlightenment is open for them.
It's better reincarnation than in Heavenly Realms, because as God being's karma only worsens. No heaven is permanent, reincarnating there is the waste of time from a Buddhist perspective.
Do i wish to reincarnate in Heavens then? Yes, but not for long (i think for about a 4 weeks - to help there & to fulfill beneficial wishes of those who are important to me, both Sangha & friends/allies outside Sangha). My involvement with the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn implies that i seek union with God, it's their goal. i wish to attain that goal, to better understand them & their needs - so my goal of allying Sangha with them is not empty & meaningless. But being a Buddhist, i do not wish to remain in Godly mind-states for too long, i seek reincarnation in Buddha Amitabha's Pure Land of Highest Joy instead. i don't mind visiting Heavens, Hells, Wiccan Summerland, or other Worlds after my death, to help beings there, as long as it's not for too long. i prefer to not waste time - during this life, and after.
i ask all of those who can, to do Phowa for me after i die. i am not sure if i'll be able to complete Phowa Course in this life, so i need this kind of help.
i wish to repay those who help me that way, with my services - before my death or after reincarnation - but don't know how, yet.

Wishes.
May all beings - including myself - reincarnate better in Buddha Amitabha's Pure Land, if they wish.
i wish to prepare & learn Phowa practice in this life, if possible. If not possible in this life, then as soon as i can. For myself & for others.
