Anyone who practices authentic dharma successfully can go to Amitabha Buddha’s Pure Land. It is an erroneous view to think otherwise. It is not just for those of the Pure Land sect.
Erroneous View #54: THE VIEW THAT ONE CAN PASS ON TO THE PURE LAND ONLY IF ONE CHANTS THE NAME OF AMITABHA BUDDHA
Those with this view think that, because of the connection Amitabha Buddha has with the Pure Land, one will pass on to the Pure Land only if one practices the Pure Land sect’s dharma method of chanting the name Amitabha Buddha. Actually, Amitabha Buddha is the Chief Executive of all of Vajrayana Buddhism. Many people do not understand this. Furthermore, Amitabha Buddha is a Buddha of all Buddhist sects. He is not just a patriarch of an individual sect. He is a Buddha! Therefore, it is not true that one can pass on to the Pure Land only by chanting the name Amitabha Buddha. Whatever dharma you practice, if your wish is to pass on to the Pure Land, you will pass on to the Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss if your practice of that dharma is successful.
