The old master of Pure Land Zong declared the Pure land in the scripture.
To the life of Pure Land (that is, the western Paradise), is to enter the auditorium, the seat, the above Amitabha, the surrounding of course estimated there should be a dharma-bearer. In the classroom, sit down, listen to the law, never leave the seat. When do you leave? Until Enlightenment becomes a Buddha.
Amitabha 84,000 phase, phase 84,000 good, 84,000 bright, all over the world of ten.
How long does it take to hear the sutra? In the Pure Land, time and space do not exist. As Roger Penrose, at the end of the Aeon, there are only photons, countless times, and photons do not experience the passage of time.
This explains why some people with great sin karma, foolish people, can also cross over to the Pure land, because they also need to go through the process of listening to the Law and Enlightenment.

In the world, this is a bit like a probability problem, but in the Buddha's ontology, this is not a probability problem.
