Question
What does Buddhaland looks like?

Answer
Henry,

I don’t know what a “Buddhaland” “looks” like.  However,

"At time's beginning that beauty which polished creation's mirror caressed every atom with a hundred thousand suns."

"Think in this way of all this fleeting world:  As a star at dawn, a bubble in a stream; a drop of dew, a flash of lightning in a summer cloud, a flickering lamp, a phantom, and a dream."

"When I attained absolute, perfect enlightenment, I attained absolutely nothing. That is why it is called absolute, perfect enlightenment."

— Diamond Sutra

Thus, a Buddhaland is not a land perceivable as tangible or as a place where people imagine it to be an idealized land with all the wishes coming true, but it is within a state of equanimity and mind that transforms body, mind, and spirit into a place where everything is all perfect in its own way.
