The "Kyōgyōshinshō" is a significant work by the Japanese Buddhist monk Hōnen, who founded the Pure Land School of Buddhism in the 12th century. This text outlines the core teachings of Pure Land Buddhism, emphasizing the importance of faith in Amitābha Buddha and the practice of reciting the nembutsu, or the name of Amitābha, as a means to attain rebirth in the Pure Land. In the "Kyōgyōshinshō," Hōnen presents a clear and accessible explanation of Buddhist concepts, making them understandable for laypeople. The work is divided into several sections, each addressing different aspects of faith, practice, and the nature of enlightenment, ultimately guiding followers toward spiritual salvation.
