Some people say : " To see the Buddha is to see the Buddha of the Self-Mind, not the Buddha of the Western Pure Land. " This being the case, at the time of death, is it the Buddha of the Self-Mind who appears, or is it Buddha Amitabha who comes to receive and guide us ?
Seeing the Buddha at the time of death is due to our own Self-Mind, which has elicited a response from Amitabha Buddha. You should not revert everything to the Self-Mind and think that there is no Buddha Amitabha arriving to receive and guide you !

(From Pure-Land Zen , Zen Pure-Land, Letters from Patriarch Yin Guang. Page 108 - 111)


Do not be swayed by external circumstances,
