We are pleased to announce the release of a new Buddhist prayer CD entitled " Aspiration Prayer of Sukhavati, the Pure Realm of Great Bliss". It is composed by the learned and accomplished Raga Asya and sang by Venerable Shangpa Rinpoche to depict the wonderful qualities of the Amitabha's pure land amidst the sounds of flowing rivers, songs of birds as well as much heavenly music. It excludes the great admiration of the qualities of ths pure land and one may be inspired with great devotion and faith towards Buddha Amitabha as well as develop strong wishes to be reborn to this wonderful pure land. With the immense compassion of the Lord Amitabha and the favorable conditions he has created, one would definitely be reborn to the Amitabha Buddha's pure land.
This prayer is of particularly of great benefits to beings who are at the end of their life span or in bardo stage. The pure land of Amitabha Buddha was created by Buddha Amitabha due to the powers of his vows to benefit all sentient beings. Sentient beings who possessed the four causes for rebirth together with their strong faith in Amitabha Buddha and their bodhicitta wish to be of benefit sentient beings would definitely take rebirth in this pure land. We encourage everyone to take this opportunity to accumulate merits and made strong wishes to be reborn to this pure land.
The prayer text and CD were produced through the generosity of donors who had contributed their talents and efforts in translating, writing, music, singing, designing etc works as well as their resources such as facilities and money. We rejoice and dedicate the merits of everyone who have supported and participated in this project to all sentient beings' happiness and great enlightenment. Rejoice ! Sarva Mangalam.
