Permanent Place to Stay

A dialogue built upon a texting dialogue:

D: (Looking for room to rent again) I realise I have to keep letting go of the idea that I can find a more permanent place to stay.
S: Even Pureland is not for staying forever; it’s just for training.
D: Yeah… unless I attain enlightenment.
S: Even enlightenment is not something to attach to, to dwell in.
D: Huh?
S: Even the Buddhas are actively manifesting here and there to guide beings to enlightenment.
D: When and where is the real rest then?
S: There’s no need to rest anywhere when you become fully enlightened! There is just the boundless freedom of selfless service.
