Zen in the Pure Land

Zen in the Pure Land

Two of the most effective and influential varieties of Buddhism in the East for more than one thousand years have been the school of Meditation (Chan/Zen) and the school of the Pure Land. These movements have presented radically different faces, but have also combined to produce enhanced efficiency in their methods.
The synthesis of Chan/Zen and Pure Land practice produced a considerable range of teaching activity. Several of the central figures of Pure Land tradition in China were established Chan masters, and Pure Land practice eventually became a common component of Chan Buddhism. This collection brings together advice and instructions from diverse sources in the Buddhist canon illustrating the practical methods of integrating these forms of meditation.
