9 Levels of Lotus Eternal Birth: How to directly use Dharma-I to connect to Amitabha Buddha System
The nine levels of Lotus Eternal Birth show the shift from bowing through Causation-I to Dharma-I, realising that true self is already Dharma-I — beyond time, beyond causation — and directly connected with Amitabha Buddha’s Pure Land.
