Pure Land school
The Pure Land school is a branch of Buddhism that emphasizes devotion to Amitabha Buddha, who is believed to offer salvation to all beings. Practitioners focus on chanting the name of Amitabha, known as the Nembutsu, to attain rebirth in the Pure Land, a realm of bliss and enlightenment. This practice is accessible to everyone, regardless of their spiritual abilities.
Originating in China during the 2nd century, the Pure Land school spread to Japan and other regions, becoming one of the most popular forms of Buddhism. It offers a hopeful path for those seeking spiritual fulfillment, emphasizing faith and devotion over complex meditation practices.
