Đại Nguyện Nguyện 18 trong 48 Đại Nguyện của Phật A Di Đà : Nếu con được thành Phật, mà chúng sanh trong mười phương dốc lòng tin tưởng, muốn sanh về cõi nước con chỉ trong mười niệm, nếu không được toại nguyện, thì con chẳng trụ ở Ngôi Chánh Giác, trừ kẻ phạm năm tội nghịch và gièm chê Chánh Pháp. Nam Mô Pháp Giới Tạng Thân A Di Đà Phật Lời Khuyên Tịnh Độ (Ấn Quang Đại Sư) “ Ấn Quang từ Tây qua Ðông, từ Bắc xuống Nam, qua lại hơn vạn dặm, gặp gỡ nhiều người. Trong số đó, lắm kẻ bình nhật tự vỗ ngực là bậc thông Tông, thông Giáo, coi Tịnh Ðộ như uế vật, chỉ sợ nó làm bẩn lây đến mình. Lúc lâm chung, đa số chân loạn tay cuống, kêu cha gào mẹ. Trong số ấy, có những người trì giới niệm Phật già giặn, chắc thật, dù Tín Nguyện chưa đến mức cùng cực, tướng lành chẳng hiện, nhưng đều an nhiên mạng chung. Vì sao như vậy? Là vì tâm thuỷ trong lặng, do phân biệt nên xao động, đục ngầu, sóng thức trào dâng. Do Phật hiệu nên tâm thuỷ ngưng lặng. Bởi thế, kẻ thượng trí chẳng bằng kẻ hạ ngu, biến quá khéo thành vụng về lớn vậy!”

(English subtitles) Master Ren Shan 仁山法師, born in 1980, is a remarkable Buddhist master in China.
Subtitles:
In the Tang Dynasty, Master Shandao promoted Pure Land dharma and urged people to be mindful of the Buddha. There was a master named Huaigan. He did not believe in the Land of Bliss. One day he came to Master Shandao.
You advise people to be reborn in the Land of Bliss, which is doubtful. Do you have any way to prove the existence of the Land of Bliss?
Master Shandao told him: If you want a proof, you have to let go of your doubt and concentrate on chanting Buddha's name.
He really went to chant the Buddha, chanting the Buddha 7 days, 3 times in a row, for a total of 21 days. But nothing happened, and he was anxious a little. Then he came to ask the master. Master said: You haven't let go of your doubts, so your mind hasn't settled, and you have no way to respond.
Give up your previous doubts, settle your body and mind. Don't think of seeing or not seeing, just focus your attention on chanting. If you do as I said, you will definitely see it.
This time, Master Huaigan let go completely and focused on chanting the Buddha. Ever since, he has chanted for 3 years and obtained samadhi personally.

He saw the Land of Bliss as if it was his current country. Afterwards he wrote a paper: Thesis on Resolving Pure Land Doubts. It clearly explained the doubts that the public at that time, including Buddhist practitioners, had about the Pure Land. Practice is the test method that Buddhism says. This is the best way to prove it. People won't be convinced by just an answer.
Hence, we have to build the faith in Amitabha's Land of Bliss from here. Take a step back, fellows, if you want a belief, you must truthfully believe. Because true belief has no harm. It does no good to disbelieve it. You carefully consider whether it is or not.
You say: I don't believe it at all. Does this do you any good? He believe. Does it do him any good? He believe, and there is no harm at least. Then what's benefit? The benefit is no harm at least. Understand? What is no harm? From then on, there is really no harm. His mind no longer panics. When life is over, he no longer fears. You see, there is no harm.
