"Fairyland of the West," or "Western Heavenly Paradise," is a concept in Chinese Buddhism that refers to a utopia believed to be located in the western quarter of the universe. This serene realm is presided over by the Amitabha Buddha and is described as a land of bliss where beings are free from suffering, old age, and death. It represents the ultimate goal for many Buddhists, who aspire to rebirth there through their devotion and virtuous deeds. The idea of the Western Heavenly Paradise is central to the practice of Amitabha Buddha's Pure Land school of thought, which emphasizes faith and the chanting of Amitabha's name to attain rebirth in this blessed destination.
