The Two Secrets the Buddha Never Revealed!
There are passages in the Pali Canon where the Buddha states that two things cannot be properly described: unbinding (nibbāna/nirvāṇa) and the post-mortem status of the arahant, a person who has attained total unbinding. However, even though the Buddha is consistent in never describing the post-mortem status of the arahant, there are passages where he does make concessions to his listeners to describe unbinding. The question is, why the distinction?

On the surface, this would appear to be an academic or an esoteric issue, but the Buddha’s apparent reasons for making those concessions are strategic, dealing with the basic purpose of his teachings and the path for getting there. For this reason alone, they’re worth looking into. And, as it happens, there’s a long history of people who—missing the distinction between the Buddha’s two different approaches to these closely related topics—have arrived at some serious misinterpretations of the goal of the practice.

Into the complexities of Buddhist philosophy and offers profound insights into the Buddha’s teachings. I really appreciate how well it explains such intricate concepts in a way that's both engaging and thought-provoking. It left me reflecting on the nature of Nirvana and the status of arahants in a whole new light!

Right! . As I understand what Buddha's Dharma. When we eventually landed and attained Buddhahood. There is no needed to use his Dharma as the tools and abandoned it forever. Unbinding is understood and no word. The Diamond Sutra did told us that very clearly.

As I understand it, the unbinding is like touching refreshing spring water. You experience it, but you know that by grasping and holding onto that water it becomes less refreshing by your attachment/binding to it. That refreshment is analogous to the bliss experience in unbinding. You feel, are aware, and perceive the experience, but there is no clinging or attachment/binding to the experience. You understand the experience is a temporal intersection of causes and conditions - it thus comes and thus goes (like the Tathagata, the Thus Come and Thus Gone). 🙏🙏🙏

Avatamsaka Sutra is a longer version of the Infinite Life Sutra.
Open up the Infinite Life Sutra, it is about the entire 48 Great Vows of Amitabha Buddha.
Open up the entire 48 Great Vows, it is about the Buddha-name Amitabha Buddha.

Humanity greatest treasure is the Infinite Life Sutra.
The entire Infinite Life Sutra introduces the Amitabha Buddha and his Land of Ultimate Bliss/ The Western Pure Land.

There isn't a single Buddha that will not praise Amitabha Buddha.

There isn't a single Buddha that will not praise the adornment Western Pure Land.

There isn't a single Buddha that will not urge sentient beings to chant the Buddha-name Amitabha Buddha.

There isn't a single Buddha that will not urge sentient beings to seek rebirth into Western Pure Land.

Buddhas in all ten directions chant the Buddha-name Amitabha Buddha to attain Buddhahood.

Our innate true treasures is the call Amitabha Buddha.
