Features: The Pure Land School is a sect that primarily focuses on the practice of the Pure Land Dharma of Amitābha Buddha. Due to its simple and accessible characteristics of "benefiting all roots and receiving pure benefits," it has become wildly popular since the formation of the Huayan Society on Mount Lu by Huiyuan during the Eastern Jin Dynasty. The Pure Land School advocates rebirth as a Buddha, requiring the three elements of faith, aspiration, and practice to be present in one's cultivation. This book collects the Five Scriptures of the Pure Land, selected by Master Yinguang during the Republican era, and the Ten Essentials of the Pure Land, compiled by Master Zhixu during the Qing Dynasty. It provides a detailed explanation of the essence of the Pure Land School and serves as a reference list for practitioners of the Pure Land tradition.
