Draft area:
Having achieved rebirth in Sukhavati, one immediately attains miraculous abilities, such as the five clear perceptions[1], unlimited eloquence and wisdom in upholding sutras and reciting and expounding them[2], the ability to travel anywhere instantanously[3] such as Abhirati, Zangdokpalri or our planet Earth[4] and to hear spontaneously whatever teachings they may wish and remember them perfectly.[5]
