Visualization Sutra

​

          The Buddha said to Ananda and Vaidehi, "In every region of that land of myriad treasures there are five billion treasure palaces adorned with jewels, and in those palaces there countless heavenly beings playing heavenly music.

          Like heavenly jeweled banners, musical instruments are suspended in the sky, producing myriad sounds that proclaim the mindfulness of the Buddha, the mindfulness of the Dharma, and the mindfulness of the Sangha.

​

          "When this visualization has been completed, it is called the general perception of the jeweled trees, the jeweled ground and the jeweled lakes in the Realm of Ultimate Bliss.  This is the unified visualization of these images which is called the Sixth Visualization.

          For those who see this, the heavy and evil karma binding them to birth-and-death for measureless tens of millions of aeons is eliminated, and when they take leave of this life, they will assuredly be born in that land.  To do this visualization is called the right visualization; to do another is called an incorrect visualization."
