The wheel of samsara. In the left, outside of the wheel, you can see the Pure Land of Amida Buddha and a path leading to it. In the right you can see Shakyamuni, the historical Buddha, also outside the wheel, pointing to Amida. |
Don't
be upset with samsara. Why should you be upset with your own dream? Soon you
will wake up in Sukhavati - the enlightened (awaken) realm of Amida and all the
delusions and sufferings of your dream state will be over. All your experiences
in the samsaric dream will seem like they have never really existed. You will
then have a good laugh at everything and immediately start an endless activity
of awakening others from their various dreams and nightmares.
But
until you wake up in Sukhavati, everything you do here and anything that
happens to you, belongs to the dream. You are trying to solve illusory problems
in illusory cities and countries, fighting for illusory goals and being mad at
other dreaming people over illusory situations.
