 Sukhāvatī is situated in the uttermost west, beyond the bounds of our own world.By the power of his vows, Amitābha has made it possible for all who call upon him to be reborn into this land, there to undergo instruction by him in the dharma and ultimately become bodhisattvas and buddhas in their turn (the ultimate goal of Mahāyāna Buddhism).From there, these same bodhisattvas and buddhas return to our world to help yet more people.
