The Amitabha Sutra (3): Amitabha’s Pure Land — The Seven-Jewel Pool

Описание: “Furthermore, Shariputra, in that land there are pools of the seven jewels, filled with the waters of eight merits and virtues. The bottom of each pool is purely covered with golden sand. The stepped pathways that line the four sides of the pools are made of gold, silver, lapis lazuli, and crystal. Above them are pavilions adorned with gold, silver, lapis lazuli, crystal, mother-of-pearl, red pearls, and carnelian. In the pools are lotuses as large as chariot wheels: with blue lights, blue colors; with yellow lights, yellow colors; with red lights, red colors; with white lights, white colors. They are most subtle, fragrant, and pure. Shariputra, the Land of Ultimate Bliss is crowned in splendor and virtues such as these.”

💡This passage paints a vivid picture of the Land of Ultimate Bliss:pools of seven jewels, waters with eight virtues, golden sands covering the bottoms, pathways and pavilions adorned with precious gems, and lotus flowers as large as chariot wheels radiating light in blue, yellow, red, and white. All these sublime and majestic features are not accidental; they are the natural manifestation of Amitabha Buddha's immeasurable merit and compassionate vows. It presents a pure, perfect, and suffering-free destination, inspiring us to develop faith and aspire to be reborn there.
