I noticed in the Hua Yan Jin Pu Xian Xing Yuan Pin, there is constant mention of rebirth in Amida pure land. Is it the same with other mahayana sutra to be reborn in Amida pure land?
Samantabhadra vow is wishing to help sentient beings reborn in Amida Pureland .
Hua yan jing (Avatamsaka ,Flower Adornment ) mention the Pureland of the all the Buddhas
that is the Lotus Store World Buddhaland which consist of all Purelands
I think its up to individual whether the wish to seek rebirth to Western Paradise ,
One can also seek rebirth in the Lapis Lazuli land of Medicine Buddha , the Inner Court of Tushita Heaven by Maitreya Buddha , the Ratnasambhava Buddha or Amogasiddhi Buddha of the Southern Dimension
In Medicine Buddha the focus is on the Medicine Buddha while the Medicine Buddha do not differentiate whether the Lapis Lazuli Light Buddhaland of the Western Paradise
In Maitreya Bodhisattva ,the emphasis is on the merit of the next Buddha-to-be,Maitreya so the Pureland is in fact Inner Court of Tushita
There is a sutra (sorry, I cant remember) which is in the Tripitaka collection which talks abt another Pureland which is in the Perfume Accumulating Buddhaland
This Buddhaland is different from the rest of the Buddhaland as they are attained Mahasattva and size of citizen as big as the mount Smeru
