Videos of a Buddhist who knew in advance his/her own departure. Part 3






Amitabha Budhha (阿彌陀佛) existences is for real, ( billions/unaccountable years  ago up to the present and to the -unaccountable years- future), there were numerous evidence from the past to the present of the power of Amitabha Buddha. Those who recite His name sincerely will be born in Pureland of Amitabha Buddha. The most recent evidence was Master Guang Qing  (廣欽老和尚)who entered Pureland in 1986. The remarkable photo evidence of  Master Guang Qing  entering Nirvana can be seen at this link:

This is another video, about an old granny  from China who recited Amitabha Buddha's names sincerely, and Kuan Im Posat (觀音菩薩) let her know in advance that Amitabha Buddha (阿彌陀佛)was going to pick her up to His Pureland (Heaven of Amitabha Buddha (西方極樂世界)) within 49 days. When the day came , and this old granny really passed away reciting Amitabha Buddha's name. The video link is here , taken from xuefo.net:

This video was made based on true story.
However there is another video which was taken exactly when the Buddhist practitioner was  still alive and it was recorded until this old man passed away as exactly being told to him by Amitabha Buddha. This man passed away in 2003, in Si Chuan, China (四川), he foretold his own death day February 23, 2003 at 12  noon.

And they recorded this man's last 7 days living in the temple in the video. I watched this video already, however I gave it to others. I will try look for the link somewhere.

This is the video I am talking about. Just click it and you will watch video about a Buddhist Practitioner who sincerely recited Amitabha Buddha's names and he knew the date and time and year he was going to depart this world and they recorded the event of this old man 7 days before he passed away on the date exactly as was promised by the Buddha to him in a dream.

 They conducted 7 days of reciting Buddha's names in the temple in Si Chuan,China and they also recorded this event alive until this man bid  farewell to everybody and departed this world while reciting Budhha's name. Here is the link.( I will give details explanation in English about this video when I have time).

48 vows of Amitabha Buddhas were made by Amitabha Buddha 10 kalpas ago(according to Amitabha Sutra)*.
From these 48 vows, 3 are very imporatant aspects to sentient being living in this earth. These vows no: 18, 19 and 20 have a good direct impact to our lifes here. These 3 vows are:


Vow 18: If I become a Buddha, the beings of the ten directions who after hearing my name, and thus awakened their highest faith and aspiration of rebirth in my country, even they only have such a thought of ten times, they are destinied to be born there( with the exception those who created five big offences/karma and those who blasphemed the Dharma), otherwise I will not become a Buddha.

Vow 19: If I become a Buddha, the beings of ten directions, who have directed their thoughts towards the Bodhi and cultivate various merits in the hope of rebirth in my country ( will be born in my country), if at the moment of their death, I don't come to fetch them with my assembly of retinue, then I will not become a Buddha.

Vow 20: Provided I become a Buddha, if the beings of ten directions, after having heard my name and longing to be born there, and they cultivate various merits for the purpose to be born in my heaven( Sukhavati Heaven), if they expectation failed, then I will not become a Buddha.
Then the rest of the 48 vows are mainly concern about: the conditions/ the goodness in this heaven, and the characteristics of this heaven.

*according to WikIpedia, 1 kalpa(aoen) derived from Sangskrit word(कल्प kalpa). According to India's system, 1 kalpa is equal 4,32 billion years. So 10x4,32 billion=43,2 billion years.
