慧淨上人法語
凡夫入報
(continued)

Among all kinds of realms, the greatest source of happiness is in Buddha’s realm, which is the eternal bliss and the joy of nirvana. Once reborn, we will enjoy all kinds of happiness that we can imagine and that we can realize. This is called a reward land. So, it is not required to go through various levels and grades. If such a process is required, that means he has to rely on dedication [of merits and virtues cultivated] by himself (“self-power”), and not on reciting Amiatbha’s name in accordance with his Fundamental Vow.

所有境界中，最樂的就是佛的樂，就是大樂，就是涅槃之樂，我們只要往生，這一些你所能想到的樂通通能夠擁有，通通能夠證得，這個叫做「報土」。所以是不經過品位階級的，如果還經過品位階級的話，表示他不是依本願之稱名，而是靠自力之迴向。

Namo Amitabha!
