Can you see your deceased buddhist friend/relatives going
up to Pureland or did you ever dream of them in Pureland?
Plentiful of experiences encountered in the past and present
purelandists who aided the last breath in
attaining pureland. Below is bodhisavattas returned to samsara
world because of compassionate vow prior to attainment of
buddha.
One of many good example is :

一时菩萨
(觉明妙行菩萨)自极乐国来。降于娑婆震旦古勾吴地。在会弟子。以往昔因缘。得蒙化度。菩萨将显净土法门。
菩萨曰
(觉明妙行菩萨)。所示净土一门。真诸佛心宗。人天径路。今汝等虽求往生。若发愿不切。如入海而不获宝珠。徒劳无益也。我昔于晋明帝时。受贫子身。为贫苦故。乃发大愿云。我以夙业。受此苦报。若我今日不得见阿弥陀佛。生极乐国。成就一切功德者。纵令丧身。终不退息。誓已。七日七夜。专精忆念。便得心开。见阿弥陀佛相好光明。徧十方世界。我于佛前亲蒙授记。后至七十五而坐脱。竟生极乐。后以度生愿重。再来此土。随方显化。或为比邱。或为居士。或为国王。或为臣宰。或为女人。或为屠匄。或隐或显。或顺或逆。皆随顺说法。导诸羣品。又以仙道多未悟真常。耽长寿乐。不思进修。我现仙身。救其迷坠。如唐僖宗朝一事也。今则又为汝等发明邪正。阐扬净土。汝等当一意一心。坚修此门。必不相误。若心志一坚。又不待隔世而生。现前亦得见佛。如我昔年无异。
无量寿经
-
我作佛时，所有众生，生我国者，究竟必至一生补处。除其本愿，为众生故，被弘誓铠，教化一切有情，皆发信心，修菩提行，行普贤道。虽生他方世界，永离恶趣。或乐说法，或乐听法，或现神足，随意修习，无不圆满。若不尔者，不取正觉。
When I become a Buddha, all the
living beings born in my Land will ultimately arrive at the
position of only one birth before Buddhahood. Provided they vow to
save living beings, they would be armed with great vows to teach
and transform all the sentient beings, so that all will bring forth
the faith to cultivate the Bodhi conduct and practise the path of
Samantabhadra Bodhisattva. Even though such beings are being born
in the other worlds, they will forever be free from the Evil Paths.
May be some would like to speak the Dharma, some would like to
listen to Dharma, or some may appear to have the spiritual power.
Everyone of them will practise according to their wish, and none
will be unable to accomplish them. If I am unable to accomplish
such vows, I will not attain The Proper Enlightenment.
May the merit of this sharing be transferred to all suffering
beings and for world peace.
