For the spiritual training of those who are resolved to become Buddhas to benefit themselves and others, Śākyamuni Buddha recommends a Pure Land-Amitābha Buddha's Land of Ultimate Bliss. To be reborn in that land, one must have faith, resolve, and training.

Five of these ten English translations have never before been published in book form. To help readers, the translator's introduction provides an organized presentation of Pure Land teachings; another chapter tells the life stories of the patriarchs of the Pure Land School. Buddhist terms are explained in the glossary.This book will benefit readers at all levels and serve as a basis for scholarly research.
