Pure Land Buddhism

淨土宗 The central idea of Pure Land Buddhism, the largest Chinese Mahayana Buddhism sect, is anyone chanting the name of Amitabha Buddha with total concentration and devotion may be reborn in Amitabha’s Western Paradise (Sukhavati), known as the Pure Land and will remain in that beautiful land free from pain and want studying the Dharma with Amitabha until they are ready for final enlightenment. Some believe those ready for the path to enlightenment arrive in the Pure Land on an open lotus; those requiring additional effort are brought to the Pure Land inside a closed lotus and returned to earth to further purify themselves by following Buddhist principles.
