The Dawning of Your God Reality

One Voice
The Cause That Is America
Let the People Return to the Liberty Flame
“Let the Troops March and Let the Bodhisattvas Appear!”
Let the voice of America return to one voice, one sound of the
will of God! Let the people of America come together in the reality
of cosmic history and not a history revised.
Oh, let the people return to the Liberty flame,
to the hour of their nation’s birth, to the moment when
all stood as one, stood tall before the world and said: “We
are a united people! We are thirteen colonies, no longer separate
but one. And out of the one that we are shall come the many manifestations
of our God—e pluribus unum.”
So the All-Seeing Eye of God is upon you. O America,
follow its rays back to that Eye! Follow the rays to your oneness.
Remove all that divides you and return to the hope, to the glory
of God, to love, to union, to noble purpose and a certain simplicity
of life that restores the highest virtue in each breast.
I am come this first day of the year 1993. I
come to salute the chelas of the will of God and those who would
be and those who might be. I salute the founder of the nation.
And therefore, you have seen a slice of the life
of the one [George Washington] <1> who carried in his heart
truly the mission from the God Star and that of the Four and Twenty
Elders; and yet, all was not known to his outer mind. His early
ambition may be seen as self-seeking. We see it as self-finding—finding
oneself, positioning oneself that one might be of use to one’s
peers.
Thus, beloved, be seated, then. Be seated at
Mount Vernon this day and look out on the Potomac, the cold waters
and the wind, and know of winter in the East and know that it
is the fire of winter that inspires self-conquest. It is the fire
of winter that compels sacrifice, whereby the old man is set aside,
the new man is born; and that new man is one who is ready to give
his all for the victory of a cause or to accept ultimate defeat.
Think how much [Washington] must have loved in
order to place himself and his men on the line for the crossing
of the Delaware and the defeat of the drunken Hessians. Yes, beloved
ones, truly [such love] is the making of the man and of the woman
and of the soul and of the child.
Those were the days when there did surely hang
in the balance the entire blueprint for America. And that blueprint
is yet there, overlaid upon the fifty states and more, overlaid
upon the I AM Race. <*>
Much has come between the blueprint and that
which [should have manifested] in the earth, much that must be
righted. Yet it can be righted, for Saint Germain has released
the dispensation of the golden age of Aquarius <2> and our
Mother Liberty stands tall in this hour—stands tall, beloved,
to enfire every heart with its own mission.
That sense of mission must be all-consuming and
propelling. Take heed, then, that it is not the product of the
surface mind but of that which is deep within the psyche, which
has been there for tens of thousands of years waiting its season
of germination.
Yes, beloved, each one of you stands as an individual
this day as you walk the grounds of Mount Vernon and consider
the vista that Washington saw. Consider his hopes, his dreams.
Consider how events themselves compelled him and how in those
compelling events he, seeking to lead, did find himself at the
right place at the right time. Think of the tremendous unfoldment
of the Mind of Christ [that took place as he] no longer identified
with a separate state or plantation but with the whole. [He held
in his breast] the whole-eye vision and the entire cosmic conception
[that is America].
To say, “I will not defend my home or my
home state, for I have embraced the larger cause of the future
of humanity”—to say this, beloved, does make you worthy
to be a chela of the will of God. It is to have the vision, now
enhanced by the presence everywhere of the All-Seeing Eye, <3>
the vision of a larger purpose, and to have the sense of self-worth
that you might see yourself as a part of that purpose, to have
the sense of self-worth that knows that although your role may
seem insignificant, no one’s role ever is.
For all count as a part of that one body, having
one and several talents, each one bringing theirs to another and
another, that there might be love’s interchange and the
rejoicing and the praising God in your midst and in your members,
the praising God that all the pieces of the mighty mandala of
Light may assemble to achieve the day of the cosmic morn. The
cosmic morn is when the spiritual sun does rise. It rises in you.
It rises in a world.
We are not separatists regarding America. We
say that this is the place of the experiment of the Great White
Brotherhood and of the endowment of Saint Germain. We say that
if the experiment fails here, it will not succeed anywhere else.
For the peculiar people of ancient Atlantis and even Lemuria have
reincarnated here to take up where they left off and to finish
the work begun.
Thus, America is more than a nation. It is yet
a symbol to all people of the [ongoing] possibility for the realization
of individual and world freedom. [The realization of this possibility]
therefore rests upon the shoulders of those who have known freedom
in the past, those who have embraced it and realized the expansion
of the flame of Liberty in the heart.
Oh, that mighty flame!
Do you realize, beloved, that
there are those in the world today who have tasted of freedom
and yet cry out to return to their totalitarian regimes, to Communism
and other forms of socialism?
Why is it so?
It is because these souls have been denied the
opportunity to unfold the principles of freedom not only in this
century but in many past centuries. They have not been a part
of ancient golden ages. Therefore the momentum of a unique and
individual Christhood is not their personal inheritance.
Not all people upon earth in this hour find themselves
suited to a way of life of such total independence [as can be
found in America]. And even on these shores some lack the wherewithal
to make right choices and to teach their children how to choose
between real individual Christ-freedom and a certain license and
wantonness that causes the desecration of the tree of life in
every temple. [highlighted by webmaster]
I AM Morya, Chief of the Darjeeling Council of
the Great White Brotherhood, founder of The Summit Lighthouse,
teacher of the Messengers, and your own beloved Bapu. I stand
with you as though at the pinnacle of the world and [at the apex]
of life on this Mount Vernon property.
As we survey [in our mind’s eye] the capital
city of the nation, we contemplate whether those who now take
the reins of government shall indeed make an upward sweep into
new dimensions of greatness, into the acquisition of the qualities
of character of the living Christ. This we hope for. This we pray
for. This we know must come to pass if America shall enter an
age of self-transcendence and new birth.
But we are also realists. And we see how the
life-force has been spent [by those who lead or would lead] and
how many who rise to positions of leadership, though they have
the training, though they have the intellect, do not have the
balance of heart, [of threefold flame,] or even some semblance
of an inner and deep spiritual path [that would afford them a]
tie to octaves of Light.
What shall we do, then, as we survey [the available
candidates] and the All-Seeing Eye of God does pinpoint the many
lifestreams who shall take up their service full of hope, full
of determination yet not always wise and not able to predict the
future?
For they may be politicians (and there may even
be some statesmen in their midst) but they are not prophets and
they do not calculate in their planning the cycles of descending
karma.
At no time in your personal history, O chelas
of the will of God, has it been so important for you to understand
the meaning of karma. And this is because so much [personal] karma
of the ages falls due in this decade following the long cycle
of that karma being borne by the Lord and Saviour.
Karma, then, can tip the scales suddenly. On
one day you have all that it takes to accomplish the feat at hand;
on the next, karma descends, the stock market falls, and you realize
that the optimum moment has somehow slipped through your fingers
and that which you have proposed is no longer a solution.
The days will be quixotic. Yes, beloved, note
how events, like quicksilver, appear and suddenly disappear and
you wonder where all of the planning has gone. Thus, it is good
to concentrate. It is good to establish goals and meet them quickly
and bring your efforts into physical manifestation so that you
have something in hand to show besides many files in your filing
cabinets. Many deliberations, many meetings and yet somehow the
physical precipitation has escaped you.
This is the kind of year you can look forward
to. If you want to get something done, do it quickly, beloved,
before the moment is past. Beware of delays, and beware of delays
on the path of your own individual life. Delays cannot be tolerated
when the timetable is short.
Even if you should live to be 144 and you are
now a babe in arms, I tell you, you have not a moment to lose
to make the difference on planet earth. You might smile at this
comment, beloved ones, for you are not used to so thinking. But
I must bring you into consonance with Lord Gautama and the Buddhas
and Bodhisattvas.
What do we do, then, when we see that those who
appear to be strong and youthful and to have all that it takes
to run a government are in fact at inner levels handicapped spiritually?
Well, beloved ones, if we are to be our brother’s
keeper and our sister’s keeper, then we must make up the
difference! We must invoke the Light! We must call to the Cosmic
Christs to descend into the temples of those individuals who have
long ago lost their potential for Christhood. There is no other
way when we consider that we are one body.
If we are one body and we believe that where
there is life there is hope, then we must invoke a mighty intercession
for the descent of Cosmic Christs that they might enter the arena
[of the government and the economy] to overshadow those who simply
are not equal to their times.
George Washington was a man who was equal to
his times. But as you have understood [from the film], he had
to grow into his boots, he had to grow into his uniform, he had
to put on the Christ when he did not know that [what he was putting
on] was the Christ or his Christhood. He put on his Higher Identity
and moved forward even though he was beset with common faults
that all have, thoughts of pride or ambition, desires to do this
and that. Yes, beloved, he moved on, impelled by a higher guidance
and the right hand of God.
This is the understanding I would give to you.
You cannot sit on the sidelines and be a spectator, waiting [to
be perfected so that you can begin your mission]. You know that
you have a mission. You must be up and doing! You must be up and
doing, beloved! You must realize that in the very process of doing
what is the immediate greatest necessity, you are engaging with
the forces of your time, with the energies of the planetary systems
and the light of the sun itself.
Yes, beloved, each moment in cosmic history,
each hour and day and year contains the energy necessary in order
that all lifewaves of a Matter cosmos might respond [to the Higher
Purpose] and bring the [distilled] essence of heart, of character,
[of spirit] to that conglomerate of the Mystical Body of God worlds
without end.
Note well, then, that many of the world’s
greatest leaders who have had the ultimate victory have not achieved
it [merely] by superior intellect but more by staying power, by
trial and error and by Providence interceding.
Sometimes, beloved ones, you could consider,
without being superstitious, that there is a certain destiny for
every individual. And when that set destiny does come [into focus]
according to the geometry of creation, then forces work together
to bring that individual to his supreme moment, his finest hour.
[Isn’t it interesting that] one seems never to know what
is one’s finest hour except in retrospect?
How does one know [in advance] which of the million
acts one takes towards the goal will actually be the one that
is the turning point that will guarantee the victory against which
no outer force can stand?
One does not need to know this if one believes
in God, if one lives under the shadow of the Almighty, the Mighty
I AM Presence, and trusts the inner voice and cultivates the inner
voice and the listening ear that is keen to know that inner voice.
[But often] one simply knows. One knows apart
from all physical or mental faculties. That inner knowing and
divine knowing is the overshadowing [of the Christ Presence] and
the descent of the totality of a man or woman or child that bonds
with the soul [and the spirit of God. And so the individual] comes
together and becomes a profile of heroism.
This is something you can reach for and achieve!
This is an hour and a day that your own Godhood must shine, lest
there be no candles left in the earth that can maintain their
flames against the gusts of winds that come from the fallen angels
as they pass through in the point of self-disintegration.
Yes, answer the question! Will you see this as
an hour of self-integration in God or will you see it as an hour
of self-disintegration, disassociation from the Great Central
Sun and from that point in the Sun where the Matter cosmos meets
the Spirit cosmos and where you yourself may pass through that
nexus and obtain permanent reality in the Godhead?
It will take many steps and heartbeats, many
movements of the limbs, many thoughts inclined to God to find
your way back over the many paths that you must retrace and the
footprints [of your Guru and your karma] lost in the sands of
the Sahara that you must find again. Yet [one day you] will suddenly
uncover them—and then you will know the way to go and a
door will be opened and another and another!
Well, beloved, I speak to you of the cause that
is America: it is the cause of the heart and the heartbeat of
America. It is the cause of the small nucleus who make up the
capstone of the pyramid of this civilization. It is the cause
of those who are going through the process of etherealization,
spiritualization and self-transcendence and can hold the fire
of the heart. It is the cause of those who come together to join
in our cause and who recognize this wilderness land [to which
we have summoned you] as the place where individuality stands
out against the sky and against the mountains and against the
barrenness of winter.
Through the valley the individual is supreme
and yet he is measured, according to the Taoist concept, against
the backdrop of a nature that is more vast. So God has created
the vastness of [Nature’s] great backdrop in order for you
to be, and to be that Great Tao: this is the heart of the mystery
of life!
Our cause, then, beloved, must be espoused as
never before! As you wed your soul to this cause, [I remind you]
that it was not millions who won for America in the beginning
and it may not be millions who win in the end.
What counts is that spirits of Liberty [who are
made] of a fire that will not be quenched [step forward and say
to their general: “You can count on me!”]
What matters is that pilgrims of the ages who
come marching down the centuries converge in this place and take
a stand against planetary Evil and Darkness, a stand for youth
and old age and all people, a stand for God, as he has a right
to live in a creation that is made habitable for the Lord.
Thus I call you to a higher calling and a noble
purpose. I call you to an ancient memory. I call you to recognize
your supreme worth to my cause. I speak to you, beloved, and I
do not desire to weary you in the [following] principle, but it
must be said:
Unseen dark ones continue to whisper in the ear
and project in the mind that you are not needed [here], that our
cause is somehow lost, that there are better fields and better
valleys and even other mountains to climb.
Ours is a holy purpose, and this Community does
shine with those of you who stand [for God] and are willing to
challenge forces that you cannot even calculate, whose numbers
are unknown, whose energy coefficient is far beyond your awareness.
You have placed your ultimate trust in God. Do
not withdraw it, but continue this labor [of love] to the finish
that we might be done with a major challenge to our Church.
Let us look to the future. [But are ye able?]
Perhaps your imagination must needs be quickened in an age when
all things are drawn for you and [what was once the clean white
page of] your imagination is [clogged with clutter and] not challenged.
Think, then, of what you might have thought the future of America
would be over the next two hundred years had you been there in
1775.
Yes, beloved, you may or may not have even dreamt
of the glories of technology and of the millions who would come
[to her shores] and how that fire of freedom would be preserved
in their hearts and how all that you stood for would travel around
the world many times so that little children in every nation would
know the name George Washington and the figure of the Statue of
Liberty and [the document that is] the Declaration of Independence.
How has [the spirit of] freedom so intensified
and increased as the hope of the world even unto this hour of
the [moral] decline of the civilization America?
Think, then, upon what this place will be two
hundred years from now, what you would see here and upon this
continent and what people [will bear witness to] as the fruits
of your service.
[Well, I tell you,] it is either a zero or it
is victory. This is what you learn in the way of a cause. Either
a cause has total victory on behalf of all people—because
the components of that cause were able to see a greater life beyond
that human form and that human beating heart, a life on which
millions unborn would depend—[or it has total defeat because
the components lost the vision and did not clearly define their
reason for being].
I appeal to your vision and to your sense of
honor toward the centuries that are before you to see to it that
there is established in the earth the clear and definite path
of world religious freedom—the freedom to know God and the
freedom to walk as an individual without being dictated to by
Church or State or those of the Nephilim societies.
Blessed ones, you may not now know it, but I
will tell you that this Community is considered by the hierarchy
of Light to be the seed of the great golden age. And what you
do and the decisions you make and what you are able to publish
and bring to the nations will determine whether a golden age will
be a few square miles in Montana or cover the planet earth and
the solar system and the galaxies beyond. Such is the equation
of the hour. [highlighted by webmaster]
Let none remain who do not belong, in their own
minds. But let all who are tempted away from the goal that is
theirs to achieve right here consider [and reconsider] that they
might stand and still stand and [in so doing] return to God and
all lifewaves whom they have ever contacted that great glory and
opportunity that is given unto them.
This is my appeal to you, beloved. This is my
cause! I will continue and the ascended hosts will continue. But
what we do, beloved, will not count for this octave. It is what
you do here today and in your lifetime that will count. It will
count for everything.
Therefore, I place my message to you this day
upon the altar of the heart of the Lord of the World, Gautama
Buddha. And I speak, then, of the tenor of his address and the
fierceness of the Buddha that you have seen in him. Thus, I [for
one] can do naught else but stand in his mighty aura and speak
to you out of his heart and his all-great seriousness in this
hour.
I say to you, beloved, the Messenger is a Messenger.
And if you desire to receive that acceleration on the Path, even
as Gautama Buddha gave it to you last evening, you must but so
signify.
I recommend that you create a little sticker
or a little button or [a symbolic] pin that you can wear that
tells the Messenger: “I want to be pummeled.” “I
want to hear the Truth.” “I want to accelerate.”
Or, “You may speak to me at any time to instruct me, to
love me, to chasten me, to correct me. I am open. So receive me.”
[Thus each one goes on record,] and that way our Messenger will
not burden any who do not desire to hear what is the word of God
for them in the hour.
As we have said before, let the Messenger be
a Messenger. And so she shall but only by your leave, for no Guru
has power [over anyone] except the power given by those who would
be disciples.
Was it not so with Ernon? Rejected by his people,
he did withdraw. Thus it is the Law, beloved, that the people
themselves must ask for and receive the assistance of the Guru,
even the abilities of the Guru.
I assure you that I am always your humble servant
and that all of the ascended hosts stand in the Great Hall at
the Grand Teton Retreat [to renew their commitment to you]. And
they pledge anew their lives and all of their Causal Bodies to
the success of the Lightbearers of the earth. We believe fervently,
beloved, that with all Lightbearers combining forces with the
heavenly hosts, this earth can be turned around, and swiftly so,
in the physical octave.
We urge you, therefore, not to underestimate
your role in this process and not to think that if you vacate
your mantle or your position, another will come to fill it. We
cannot [roll out the dough and] make the proverbial gingerbread
men and set them up and place them in your vacancy.
No, beloved, you must understand that where each
one of you is born, a star is born that is unique. There is no
one in cosmos who can accomplish your assignment [quite as you
can]. Only you can do it. Others may come who are second-best
or third or one-hundredth, but the uniqueness of your calling
is yours.
Perhaps my reminding you of this fact will bring
you some sense of a greater self-worth; for by the very uniqueness
of your calling, you shall place the unique jewel in the mandala
of the chelas of El Morya and of the Great White Brotherhood.
Now, beloved, I trust you shall plan your year
and order your days and bring forth victories precipitated in
form that I might show these to the Lords of Karma. For whatever
else you may do, it is the physical accomplishment that counts.
For those in physical embodiment can see only physical things.
It is as simple as that.
[highlighted by webmaster]
My beloved ones, I have addressed you recently
and I desire that those of you who have not heard my [December
13] dictation shall hear it. For it is also important as you go
forward in the new year that you assimilate the bread of Life
that I did break on that occasion. <4>
I come, then, this day with all good wishes of
the Darjeeling Council. I come also with mentors from our retreat
who are Ascended Masters (and some who are almost ascended). They
have come on a fact-finding mission, and so they enter the departments
of the Church and the branches of the Church throughout the world
to assist and advise you.
I recommend, then, that you use my decrees recorded
for you [on tape] <5> and that you make a special effort,
while the days of Capricorn are here and until their passing,
to make that attunement with the Darjeeling Council to seek definition
and the divine will for your lifestream, to seek direction, to
act upon it in a most practical and thrifty manner and to bring
to pass that which shall be a thing of beauty and a joy forever.
I ask you—whatever may be your business
or endeavor or your involvement in this Community—to address
letters to me in Darjeeling concerning your thoughts of what ought
to be accomplished [through the Summit Lighthouse activity] and
how. [You may send copies of your letters to the Board of Directors
of Church Universal and Triumphant, chaired by your Messenger.]
I ask you to also give calls to me in thirty-three-day
cycles for action upon the contents of your letters. For as you
know, Saint Germain is also a member of the Darjeeling Council,
yet he is not the only one who has a grant, beloved. <6>
But I shall not tell you who else among us of
the Ascended Masters have received grants. But you shall know
this in the quietness of your own heart as you, drawing closer
to God and your Presence and therefore being more in sync with
that Presence, will come upon the awareness that you have received
blessing and grace and more wind in your sails to achieve this
year what you have not been able to achieve in past years.
I ask you to take up now and recite with me “The
Covenant of the Magi.” <7>
The Covenant of the Magi
by El Morya
Father, into thy hands I commend my being. Take
me and use me–my efforts, my thoughts, my resources, all
that I AM—in thy service to the world of men and to thy
noble cosmic purposes, yet unknown to my mind.
Teach me to be kind in the way of the Law that
awakens men and guides them to the shores of Reality, to the confluence
of the River of Life, to the Edenic source, that I may understand
that the leaves of the Tree of Life, given to me each day, are
for the healing of the nations; that as I garner them into the
treasury of being and offer the fruit of my loving adoration to
thee and to thy purposes supreme, I shall indeed hold covenant
with thee as my guide, my guardian, my friend.
For thou art the directing connector who shall
establish my lifestream with those heavenly contacts, limited
only by the flow of the hours, who will assist me to perform in
the world of men the most meaningful aspect of my individual life
plan as conceived by thee and executed in thy name by the Karmic
Board of spiritual overseers who, under thy holy direction, do
administer thy laws.
So be it, O eternal Father, and may the covenant
of thy beloved Son, the living Christ, the Only Begotten of the
Light, teach me to be aware that he liveth today within the tri-unity
of my being as the Great Mediator between my individualized Divine
Presence and my human self; that he raiseth me into Christ consciousness
and thy divine realization in order that as the eternal Son becomes
one with the Father, so I may ultimately become one with thee
in that dynamic moment when out of union is born my perfect freedom
to move, to think, to create, to design, to fulfill, to inhabit,
to inherit, to dwell and to be wholly within the fullness of thy
Light.
Father, into thy hands I commend my being.
As I, Morya, have written this unto my Father, so I ask you to
think of me as your father and to commend your path and your chelaship
into my keeping that I might guide you on the Homeward way and
spare your feet descending into the pitfalls.
Yes, beloved, the covenant of the Magi is an
ancient commitment of those wise men, even the Sons of the Solitude,
who have descended down the centuries bearing the Christ Child
in their hearts. For unto us the Manchild is given. And we are
the bearers of that Child and the sponsors when children are born
out of that crystal fire mist that is the great heart pattern
of the Divine Manchild, the living Christ.
Yes, we walk the earth and we are more than three
in number. <8> We are here and there in the etheric octave
and in physical embodiment. We yet train our own. And I would
train my own here at Maitreya’s Mystery School. I am grateful
to find you intact and not bruised or beaten by anything whatsoever
[that has been sent against you]. I am especially chagrined for
the loss and the great damage to the Tibetan strongholds.
Yes, beloved, there are yet hordes in the earth
and they are not isolated in the Far East, [nor are they exclusively
among the] Mongols. They are in this nation. They are those who
remain stripped of their life-force and of their integration in
God. They are the ignorant ones who ignore [the seed of Light
that is in them]. They are there, beloved, and they are the ones
who trample upon civilization, who are out of the astral plane
and shall return to it.
See to it, then, beloved, that they do not pull
the rug out from under this civilization! Mark the spoilers and
call to God to deal with them. Also see to it that in the keeping
of the flame of our retreat, you are not outsmarted in your own
conceit but rather choose to walk the way of true and pure humility
that is the highest greatness on earth.
I commend you to the keeping of the flame of
the Chohans and to the expansion of opportunity here. I commend
you to the fight to the finish.
And what is the finish?
It is when the Matter cosmos is itself exorcised
and merges with the Spirit cosmos and the twain are one. Until
then, beloved, let us take our rest, perhaps beside the Mol Heron
Creek or in Maitreya’s mountain. Let us take our rest in
stages and return to the line that is drawn, for it is indeed
drawn and you have drawn it deep.
Maintain your line and do not give up the Pure
Land, <9> for this Pure Land is Hierarchy’s dispensation
and offering. Do not expect another and another, for it is not
the time or the season. This, then, is it, beloved.
I commend you to your victory and to the glory
of God within. I AM Morya! Let the troops march and let the bodhisattvas
appear! [41-second standing ovation]
This dictation by El Morya was delivered by the Messenger of the
Great White Brotherhood Elizabeth Clare Prophet on Friday, January
1, 1993, during the five-day conference The Dawning of Your God
Reality, held at the Royal Teton Ranch, Park County, Montana.
Before the dictation, the Messenger delivered the first hour and
a half of her lecture “Ignorance of the Law Is No Excuse.”
Following her delivery, at El Morya’s request, the congregation
viewed the film George Washington–The Man Who Wouldn’t
Be King. This 60-minute PBS documentary presents an insightful
look at the life and character of our first president. (Prod.
David Sutherland, PBS Video, the History Consortium: WGBH-TV,
Boston; WNET-TV, New York; and KCET-TV, Los Angeles, 1992.) The
Messenger explained that El Morya would have us look to George
Washington as the example and the role model to emulate in 1993.
You can order your own copy of the film through your local video
store or from PBS Video, 1320 Braddock Place, Alexandria, VA 22314.

yet implicit in the dictation, added by the Messenger under El
Morya’s direction for clarity in the written word.] Throughout

9. The Pure Land. In his December 13, 1992
dictation delivered at the Royal Teton Ranch, El Morya said, “I
am determined...if you are determined, to see to it that there
is a pillar of fire in this place, which we call the Pure Land”
(see 1992 PoW, pp. 761, 763). According to the teachings of Mahayana
Buddhism, a Pure Land (or Buddha-field) is a spiritual realm or
paradise presided over by a Buddha. A Pure Land is first conceived
when a Bodhisattva, out of compassion for sentient beings, makes
a vow that after he has attained supreme Buddhahood he will establish
a Pure Land where conditions will be ideally suited to the attainment
of enlightenment. The most famous Pure Land is Sukhavati, the
Western Paradise of the Buddha Amitabha. As related in Mahayana
sutras, Amitabha established this Pure Land for all who would
simply invoke his name in faith or, according to one sutra, live
by certain precepts and perform good deeds. In A Survey of Buddhism,
Buddhist monk and scholar Sangharakshita explains that Sukhavati
may be “thought of as a kind of cosmic Sangha, unthinkably
vaster and infinitely more perfect than the institution which
is...its shadow here on earth. One who [is reborn] in this spiritual
kingdom is free from the evil destinies; he has no more to fear
rebirth...as a tormented being. Problems of food, clothing and
means of livelihood perplex him not. His whole concern is with
the attainment of Enlightenment.” The Pure Lands are described
in Buddhist writings as beautiful abodes, rich and fertile, inhabited
by gods and men; they are devoid of all pain or sin as well as
the problems of everyday existence. Traditionally, these paradises
are believed to actually exist geographically but they are also
seen as representing aspects of the awakened mind. According to
Buddhist teaching, there are countless Pure Lands; and it is believed
that another Pure Land will be brought forth by the Future Buddha
Maitreya.
