Introduction
Buddha field (Skt. buddhakṣetra; Tib. ཞིང་ཁམས་ or སངས་རྒྱས་ཀྱི་ཞིང་, Wyl. zhing khams or sangs rgyas kyi zhing) or pure realm (Tib. དག་པའི་ཞིང་, Wyl. dag pa’i zhing) — specifically, a buddha field is a pure realm manifested by a buddha or great bodhisattva. Beings born into a buddha field may travel the path towards enlightenment without falling back into the lower realms. More generally, any place that is seen as a pure manifestation of wisdom is a buddha field.
Dilgo Khyentse Rinpoche says:
In the sutras we can read how, on their eve of their attaining enlightenment, bodhisattvas such as Amitabha would make profound prayers and tremendous offerings to all the buddhas. They prayed that they might manifest a buddha field and then emanate themselves within that buddha field, so as to bring the greatest possible benefit to all sentient beings.Vajrayana perspective, however, the understanding of buddha fields is a deeper one. The root of the Vajrayana is “pure vision”, or the perception of the perfect purity of all phenomena. To enact this purity of perception, we do not perceive the place where we are now as just an ordinary place; we imagine it to be a celestial buddha field.”[1]
Examples of buddha fields are:
Sukhavati—Amitabha’s buddha field, to the West (the first buddha field to appear in Mahayana literature)Akanishtha—Vairochana’s buddha field, in the centre of the buddha fields of the five familiesZangdokpalri—Guru Rinpoche’s pure land in Chamara

Commentary:
So what is a Buddha field? A buddhafield is a realm projected in the universal mind out of compassion for seekers. Yes these fields or worlds do actually exist within you. Creating your own world is ancient an Hindu science. These worlds exist properly in your astral space or dreaming mind but not as a fantasy but as a real place of lucid awareness. These worlds contain a Buddha with possibly a garden or a indeed fields of grass. An example would be Vajra sattva Buddha (of tibetan Buddhsim) who spends his in large fields of grass or in his oriental garden, Buddhas love their oriental gardens with little fountains and walk ways. Two greats secrets I am going to reveal.
Secret 1 : Buddhas have girlfriends, yes they are not all single. Buddhas may have a power girl (shakti). They relate to their partner in a similar way to us. Yes they can show you a picture of their lady. Yes there is a tantric element.
Secret 2 : Buddhas can communicate with a video calling device , what ? Yes there’s a lot people don’t know about Buddhas. We have video calling devices here and they have something similar. Why would they have a video calling device, i don’t know cos I don’t have all the answers lmao. Apart from the main Buddha and his lady there is very little beings there. Sadly there are not many adepts in the world today.
The Rinpoche is correct to say these worlds require pure perception. The process of visualising these worlds while awake can help purify our dreaming mind of our worldly dust.
