Pure Land sects

Pure Land sects are Buddhist traditions focused on attaining rebirth in the Western Paradise, or Pure Land, of Amitabha Buddha. Practitioners believe that by sincerely reciting Amitabha’s name and trusting in his vow, they will be reborn there, where enlightenment is easier to achieve. These sects emphasize devotion and faith over complex rituals or meditation, making spiritual aspiration accessible to many. Originating in China and spreading throughout East Asia, Pure Land Buddhism offers a practical path for those seeking salvation through sincere practice and reliance on Amitabha's compassion.
