Chapter 22 Certainly To Certify To The Ultimate Fruition

"Moreover Ananda, in that Buddhaland, there is no darkness and no lights from the fire, sun, moon and stars. Neither are there any characteristic of day and night. There are also no names such as years, months and numbers of kalpas. Also there are no dwellings of families and relatives. Wherever we go, not only do we not find signs and names, neither can we see any differentiations of attachment or renunciation, but only experience the unsurpassed, pure bliss.

If there are any good men or good women who have already been born there, or who are going to be born there, all of them will dwell in proper concentration, and are sure to be certified to the Anuttarasamyaksambodhi. Why is it? Because those who have entered the deviant concentration, and those who are in the unsettled concentration, will be unable to to understand and cultivate properly the suitable causal conditions."
