The Land of Bliss is a realm of nirvana – no physical birth and death (body), as well as no mental production and extinction (mind), so rebirth [in the Land of Bliss] implies achieving Buddhahood. It means we attain the great enjoyment of the Buddha’s nirvana. Buddha’s joy is the great joy of nirvana. The great joy of nirvana is available only to the buddhas. Any being can attain the great joy of nirvana upon rebirth in the Land of Bliss. Great enjoyment in nirvana means achieving Buddhahood.

極樂世界既是涅槃境界，既無分段生死，也無變易生死，是故往生，即是成佛，即受佛之涅槃大樂。佛樂即是涅槃大樂，涅槃大樂，唯佛所受。不論何人，一旦往生極樂，皆受涅槃大樂，既受涅槃大樂，即是成佛。

Namo Amitabha!
