FAQ: Are there any evil and evil realms in the Pure Land?

No, not possible. In the Amitabha Sutra, the Buddha told us one would not even hear the name of evil, and hence its non-existence in the Pure Land. All beings are pure and enlightened in the Pure Land. Also, there is no existence of any evil realm such as the animal, hungry ghosts and hell realms like in our Saha world. The birds we see in the Pure Land are all created by Amitabha Buddha’s vow to help spread the Dharma, and are not born of karmic retribution like in our world. Amituofo.
