Internal features of the Temple
A representation of the Pure Land
“The Temple is a representation of the Pure Land of Heruka. Right now we can say it is a representation but sooner or later it will become the actual Pure Land of Heruka.”
“In a Buddha's Pure Land everything is pure. There are no sufferings, no contaminated environments, and no impure enjoyments.
“Beings born there are free from sickness, ageing, poverty, war, harm from fire, water, earth, and wind, and so forth. They have the ability to control their death and rebirth, and they experience physical and mental suppleness throughout their life. Just being there naturally gives rise to a deep experience of bliss.
“Moreover, everyone living in a Pure Land has the opportunity to receive teachings and blessings directly from the Buddha of that Pure Land.”
