Go to Sukhāvatī
If you practice in this bad five muddiness world, you often regress a lot.
So, it is better to recite Buddha's name and go to Sukhāvatī; when you get there, you will naturally achieve enlightenment and return to this bitter-sea as a bridge.

Master Ouyi Zhixu（1599—1655） said,
Although Sukhāvatī is idealism pure land, there is indeed a place to reach;
Although Amitābha is Amitābha by Svabhāva, there is indeed a Buddha who can be worshipped.

Ordinary people think that becoming a Buddha is difficult, but in fact it is not. Buddha and all sentient beings are all created by a kind of conceptual work.
