  心中�存得失想，便是世间无事人。
  无事�是沒事����事，
  而是�事�任事之间，心中沒有挂�。

  Question Three: Some people say: “To see the Buddha is to see the Buddha of the Self-Mind, not the Buddha of the Western Pure Land.” This being the case, at the time of death, is it the Buddha of the Self-Mind who appears, or is it Buddha Amitabha who comes to receive and guide us?
  
  
  Answer: Seeing the Buddha at the time of death is due to our own Self-Mind, which has elicited a response from Amitabha Buddha. You should not revert everything to the Self-Mind and think that there is no Buddha Amitabha arriving to receive and guide you!

  This is the end of the section in the sutra describing the wonders of the Pure Land environment.
