The Pure Land sutras teach a method of practice for realizing the true nature of reality, either in the present life or in the next (in Sukhavati).
I hope this doesn't sound dismissive but I don't have the time or energy to talk a lot about this (I'm in the middle of a move), so I'll just give you a bit of advice, in general a good attitude to have when studying Buddhism is that if something doesn't make sense or seems wrong, it's because WE have made a wrong conclusion and misunderstood something, or we just haven't come across the answer yet.
Close to two millennia of awakened masters in the Mahayana schools have accepted and transmitted the Pure Land sutras. If at first we're doubtful, we should trust in the Noble Sangha to have transmitted the Dharma before we draw our own hasty conclusions.
There's nothing here!
