Subtitles:
We have to make something clear. If we don't practice and haven't cut off delusion, We will continue to reincarnate in the six paths without exception. That is, keep coming. All countries, including the Saha World. Pay attention, including the Saha World and Sukhavati, have 4 realms. The 1st is the Realm where mortals and sages dwell together. They didn't get rid of delusions. Why do mortals and sages dwell together? That is, sages manifest to save mortals. There are many living beings in this realm.
They have not cut off delusions, and continually have greed, hatred, and obsession like us in the Saha World, like the Buddha in the world, he expounded the Agama Sutra. They cut off the delusions of views and thoughts. Where did those who achieved the fruition of Arhat go? Those who achieved the fruition of Arhat. Those who achieved the fruition of Arhat went to the Temporary Realm. After getting rid of this heavy form, they will come out with a different form according to how much good fortune they have practiced in this world and how well they have cultivated the way.
The more attachments they let go and the more delusions they cut off, the more majestic their looks will be. The more wisdom they have, the brighter their light will be. It's like, if you ascend to heaven. After your last breath, you go to celestial realm. What you will see, you don't need the sun and the moon, you can see your own light.

In addition, they have divine abilities. The 2nd, Arhat, who have cut off delusions of views and thoughts, will go to the Temporary Realm and have not cut off the attachment of dharma. Further, In this world, if you break avidya (ignorance) and see the dharma body, depending on your cultivating ability, which is the so-called seeing self-nature. There are several levels of seeing the self-nature for different sects based on the depth of attachment you eradicate. If you have cut off the delusions of views and thoughts in the Saha World also eliminate the delusions of dusts and sands also break various avidya. Then you'll go to the Realms of permanent reward and freedom. The figure of the Realms of permanent reward and freedom is huge. We mortals can't see. It says in the Lankavatara Sutra. Like the karma body of Locana Buddha. Who is the pure dharma body of Sakyamuni Buddha. Sakyamuni Buddha's karma body is Locana Buddha. He manifests to become a Buddha at the Utmost Heaven of the Form Realm.
There are two places to become a Buddha. One is the Saha World where we are suffering. He manifests to become a Buddha in the human world. The other place is in the Utmost Heaven of Form. He manifests to become a gigantic majestic Buddha. That is not to ferry us. That is to ferry the celestials and we can't see that. The last one is the Realm of Eternal Rest and Light.

Where dwell the Equal Awakening, Ten Earths Bodhisattva, and the Buddha. Then, it's the exact place for the Buddha. Only a Buddha lives in the Realm of Eternal Rest and Light. Where also dwell the Equal Awakening, Ten Earths Bodhisattva but for the convenience of living there because they haven't eradicated the basic avidya. Well, according to the state of the 6th Patriarch, he would directly go in the Realm of Eternal Rest and Light. Then, it's not the ordinary people have that ability. If you can practice with the thusness(tathata) self-nature. Everyone encourages each other. Let me tell you. Practicing with the thusness self-nature is like walking 500 kilometers in a day.
Practicing with the mind of attachment and awareness will get half the merit with multiples the effort. You practice very hard, diligently worshiping the Buddha, reciting the Sutras. You seem to wear off your body, practicing like this. But you get less, because you didn't wake up, only practice by virtue of vigor.
Therefore, my take is that Seeing the thus self-nature is the best way. With thus self-nature to practice, chant Buddha, Worship Buddha, recite sutras. If you can't do that, you have to take a step back. The instruction I give you is a very stable way.

Suppose you can't wake up, you have the last way. That is: Do no evil, Do all good, Purify your mind. Continuously chant the Buddha's name, and you will get reborn. Always keep these 4 words in mind that I told you. Do no evil, Do all good, Purify your mind. Insist on chanting Buddha, and you will be reborn (in the Pure Land)
