Features: The Pure Land refers to a pure and auspicious land, a splendid realm adorned with merits and virtues. Additionally, due to Master Huiyuan of the Eastern Jin Dynasty establishing the White Lotus Society on Mount Lu, where it was believed that those who were born in the Western Pure Land were transformed from lotuses, the land of Ultimate Bliss was called the Lotus Realm. Consequently, the Pure Land School of Buddhism is also known as the Lotus School.
