Amitabha pureland is indeed a very special dharma door for
people who want to liberate in a short time.
Sakyamuni buddha has in his entire lifetime teach on 2 sutras to
his disciple without being asked for, one of them is Amitabha
sutra. Hence, it shows how important is this sutra.
The budda praised amitabha buddha on the western pureland and
encourage his disciple to go there and practise.
Until now, almost all buddhist know who is amitabha buddha, but
many buddhist do not know who is sakyamuni buddha.
