Sukavati: The Land of Pure Joy

I met a friend who had also been a Tibetan Dharma student during the 1980s recently by "Accident?" at a local market. He mentioned he was still doing his Nyingma practices which is the most ancient form of Tibetan Buddhism as taught directly by Padmasambhava(who was the Mahasiddha) who brought Buddhism to Tibet from Nalanda University in India and joined it with the local Bon Po Religions to make what it has become today that is called Tibetan Buddhism. King Trisongdetsun was the King of Tibet at that time. It was likely also around the same time as Merlin the Magician and King Arthur in England.

From Tibetan Lamas in the early 1980s I was taught about the nearest Heaven and easiest to reach from Earth called "Sukavati: The Land of Pure Joy" that is Amitabha Buddha's Heaven realm. About ten years earlier God had shown me that all religions have their own heavens and that there are even individual heavens for some people with their own individual covenants with God as well. After, I experienced looking into all these many heavens my world view changed a lot and I began to see all religions as different languages that people speak rather than any one of them being set in stone as the only one.

So, while I was studying with Tibetan Lamas in Santa Cruz and Berkeley in California, Ashland Oregon and Cottage Grove, Oregon and Dharamsala and  Bodhgaya India and Kathmandu, Nepal, I began to understand the importance of somehow getting every living thing into the nearest heaven that God will allow during and after their passing on. So now whenever I see animals, birds, insects, fish or people or any creature either dead or dying I will pray for them to go to the nearest heaven called Sukavati or the land of Pure Joy. From this heaven they can then easily reach whatever heaven they actually belong in. However, death can be so very traumatic for some beings that they need a lot of help getting to someplace good.

It is a lot like people who get lost while traveling in a foreign country, they don't speak the language, they don't know who to trust, they are scared, and so whenever I see any being dead or dying I pray for their soul to go to Sukavati, the Land of pure joy. Because EVERY being can relate to pure joy. Whereas many heavens might be just so very esoteric that they might look in and not want to go there. But everyone can relate to joy and so many likely stay in Sukavati for a long time before they might move on to visit friends or loved ones in the heaven they belong in. But at least they get to a heaven this way. Being an intutiive I often have had to deal with beings who got earthbound and just wander around as ghosts because they never believed in God, Angels or an afterlife of any kind. So, sometimes beings like this are very difficult to deal with. So, whenever possible I call in Angels and Saints and Higher Ascended Beings like Jesus and Saint Germain and Arcangel Michael and his band of Angels so these beings don't have to stay here as ghosts whether they be human or animal or whatever that has passed on.

IN Japanese the invocation to take a spirit to Sukavati is " OM NAMO AMIDHA BUTSU"
In Tibetan I gave a pledge that I honor not to reveal the Tibetan Mantra but likely if you need it you can find it online somewhere.

Often since I am an intuitive I experience the being actually going to Sukavati. Strangely enough, it is much easier to get any animal who has been killed on a road by a car or truck there than almost any other time. Often animal spirits are in pain from having died horribly and are angry at first until they realize that you are trying to help them go to heaven and be free from suffering. And often all the beings that you help in this way will become like your family on the other side and protect you from all sorts of things, both human and animal or creature. And they tell all the others that you are a good person and should be helped and protected and so you are. Since literally everything is alive wouldn't you rather have friends on the other side? So, what I'm saying is that praying for all beings is also always mutually beneficial ongoing.
