Hi purelander,

It is said human beings have precious body to cultivate the dharma, and to reach enlightenment. I wonder whether beings in other realms be able to recite amitabha, to enable them to go to pureland. or for the same matter any other mantras, etc

I would certainly think so friend  ;D
There are many other Dharma purelands of Buddha's available as well, Fortunatly we have a very special connection with Lord Amitabha and his vows make it very easy for us to be reborn in fortunate states  :D
A man sees the rope in the twilight he mistakenly apprehends a snake and develops fear. To remove this fear he must remove the mind apprehending a snake by realizing that there is no snake. Even then, if the rope is left in the same place there is a danger that the same mistake will be made in the future. The only way to remove this danger is to remove the rope. Similarly, sentient beings observing their aggregates in the darkness of their ignorance mistakenly apprehend an inherently existent I. This mind grasping at an inherently existent I is the root of samsara and the source of all fear. To remove the fears of samsara we must remove this mind by realizing that there is no inherently existent I.

Geshe-la.
