We are delighted to welcome back Joey Yeo to continue our meeting with the Amitabha Buddha of Infinite Life and Light. 

The Amitabha Buddha made the following vow: 

If I should attain Buddhahood, yet there would be hell beings, hungry ghosts, or animals in my land, may I not attain perfect enlightenment.

Guided by this vow, the Amitabha Buddha set about creating a Pureland for all to practice and cultivate.

Joey has asked us to consider the following questions after hearing his sharing:

  1. What are the driving forces behind our thoughts, words and actions?
  2. How might our brief introduction to Amitabha Buddha help us to contemplate the driving forces behind our thoughts, words and actions?
