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, what says about its actuality 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 in our world. The birds we see in the Pure Land are all transformed by Amitabha Buddha’s vow to help spread the Dharma, not born of karmic retribution like in our world. Amituofo.
