Summary

In this episode, Shifu Shengchi answers a question commonly asked by Mahayana practitioners: If all dharmas are empty, then is the Pure Land also empty? If so, why should we seek rebirth there? She explains why attaining rebirth in Amitabha Buddha’s Pure Land is not contradictory to the teaching of emptiness. 🪷 Hai Hui Shan Foundation (Australia) website: https://haihuishan.au 🪷 Official Dharma contents website: https://www.pure-land-buddhism.com
