Basic needs can often be met.... The "wants" not often so -

Thanks for enlightening me. My shixiong told me to chant it only when I have achieve wealth and stability and was about ready to leave this world.yr shixiong was incorrect on this advice. Buddha Amitabha is applicable in present moment, not during death time. It means that one has to live a letting go of inequality feel of worldly matter. Normally, a practitioner will attach to buddha dharma after contacting them, and prior to learning dharma, they attach on emotion, and after contacting to dharma, they attach over non-emotion against emotion. As in the truth of buddha teaching on Amitabha pureland, it seeks to "see broken" and simultaneously 'let go'. This policy of see broken & let go is much simple as compared to true zen but the kongfu stil along the same path as zen etc. Merit is different from blessing, merit is true zen and all others are merely blessing, however blessing is needed to develop merit, and chanting of sutra, Buddha name recitation, especially listening to dharma lecture are very crucial to both merit & blessings development. May all have a wonderful non-dharma dharma cheers and be rebirth in the Amitabha land of Ultimate Bliss upon condition ripen.

Yeah. Agree with you. Learn to let go is not the last minute thing. One can never do it, especially at deathbed. "Letting go" has to be practiced in our daily life. Attachment will lead one to be reborn in ghost realm.

Can a person still go to Pureland after practising 阿弥陀� yet after causing other people a lot of pain, misery and suffering?
