The Essence of Pure Land Buddhism
The Buddha Amitabha
At the heart of Pure Land Buddhism is the Buddha Amitabha, a compassionate being who has vowed to save all sentient beings from suffering. Amitabha's Pure Land, also known as the Western Paradise, is said to be a realm of perfect happiness and freedom where devotees can progress rapidly towards enlightenment.
The Nembutsu Practice
The primary practice in Pure Land Buddhism is the recitation of Amitabha's name, known as the Nembutsu. By repeatedly invoking Amitabha's name with a sincere heart, devotees can cultivate a deep connection with him and receive his blessings.
Rebirth in the Pure Land
The ultimate goal of Pure Land Buddhism is to be reborn in Amitabha's Pure Land. This is not merely a physical relocation but a spiritual transformation where devotees can shed their karmic burdens and focus on their spiritual development.
