Religious conceptions of paradise encourage believers to regard death as returning home. The death of the flesh is to be accepted with joy, for it frees the spirit to go to another, better world and enjoy eternal life. But from the perspective of the Chinese view of paradise as a fairyland or "realm of the immortals," such a "hereafter" is simply inconceivable.
宗教的樂土思想，讓信徒視死如歸，肉體帶著喜悅死亡，精神奔向另一個更好世界永生，這樣的「彼世觀」，若由中國的樂土﹘ ﹘仙境的角度看來，簡直不可思議。
