AUG12.4

Hui Neng, the Great Grand Master, the Sixth Patriarch of Zen 
Buddha said," The lands of the buddhas are pure according to the purity of their minds."
Ordinary ignorant people, not realising theor own essential nature, do not recognise the 
Pure Land within the body; so thay pray for the East and pray for West. For enlightened people, it's the same wherever they are. That is why Buddha said," Wherever they are, they are always at ease."
As long as there is nothing in your mind that is not good, the West is not far away from here. If you harbour states of mind that are not good, even if you invoke Buddha, rebirth can hardly be attained.
