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!”

Let's see this Layman Zhou Bondao, who is the top scorer in the first advanced examination of the Republic of China. Then you know how knowledgeable he is. His family members are very achieved, with many doctorates, masters and professors. But he said, the most honorable thing in my family is that someone can be reborn in the West. Their family was originated from an extremely poor condition, so poor that his grandparents only had one bowl and half a pot,

which was half broken. You have to tilt the pot so that it can be cooked. They ran a family like that initially. After Zhou had achievement, all their family had to hang a tablet at both his home and children home, written "a hall with a bowl and half a pot." To memorize the past hardships and remind his children to cherish the blessing what they have. Don't squander after success. Remind all his descendants to think of the source when drinking water.
Once, someone requested Zhou to do a favor for him. Back then, Zhou served as a Deputy Minister of the Examination Yuan.

After the request, Zhou sent him to the gate in person and bowed to him. That man was so moved and said, If outsiders saw it, they would think Zhou was requesting something from me. If fact, it was me requesting a favor from Zhou, but he treated me with such humility that I was deeply moved.
When he was young, he also worked in education in mainland China and served as principal of the Third Middle School, which was a well known and good school. He has been a professor or principal in his education career.
However, he had been finding teacher for Buddhism.

Later, he was lucky enough to find Teacher Li and became his disciple. In addition, he said, Unexpectedly, I can be a student again in my life and study Buddhism from a renowned teacher. He was most respectful to Teacher Li.
As a result, when he was 95 years old, his health had deteriorated, and he left instructions to his family regarding his final precautions. Finally, he was reborn peacefully at the age of 95 amid the chanting of Buddha. Incredibly, after he was reborn, he passed a message in a dream three times in a row to his son-in-law,

who was a professor in Taiwan University, asking him to transfer a message to his family and lotus friends that he has been received by the Buddha and reborn in the Bliss World, and everyone is welcome to rejoice for him. Further he said, The reason I am reborn in the Bliss World is simply because I obey Buddha's teachings and truthfully chant Amitabha so that I achieve. When I recall every scene of the Saha World from the Bliss World, it's so suffering. Now I have got rid of all the hardship in the Saha World. If you memorize me, just be mindful of Amitabha.
5:00
Only by bearing Amitabha in mind, you are able to get the achievement of rebirth in the Bliss World. Besides, may my family especially respect those who came to help me with chanting Buddha because they are your truly friends in the world. I wish everyone strives to chant Buddha, not regret the path you have taken in this life, so that you all will be reborn in the Bliss World in the future.
This case of delivering messages in dreams after rebirth is very special, and there are not many such examples in the history of rebirth.
Especially, Mrs. Zhou – venerable Laywoman Yang Huiqin.

When she was young, she inducted Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva, who manifested as an old monk, coming to her home to reveal the dharma. He also told her about the occurrence of fortune and misfortunes in this life and in the past life. Back then Zhou has not learned Buddhism. The monk told Mrs. Zhou, Your husband will also learn Buddhism because of your cause and conditions in the future, and will support the dharma.
/* Zhou's son talked about his mother's meeting with Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva in a video. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=metJIL0qEvI */
He described it in detail. At last, as the monk said, the Zhou couple became exemplary lay Buddhists.

The message he conveyed in the dream explained that he was able to be reborn because he truly chanted the Buddha's name. It’s not because I’m knowledgeable or have done a lot. If one doesn't transfer merits to his rebirth in the West, he will fall into the realm of human and celestial with leaking blessings. After one enjoys the human or celestial blessings, he will inevitably degrade. Therefore, it's said in the sutra that one shouldn't seek human or celestial blessings, but rather pursue utmost enlightenment, and that is supreme sammāsambodhi. Rebirth in the Bliss World is the best way.
