29 - Pure Land Buddhism & Amitābha Buddha

Author: Alan Peto June 6, 2022 Duration: 32:15

One of the most popular and widely practiced forms of Buddhism is "Pure Land".  This practice is found throughout East-Asia and Central-Asia (Mahayana) and is part of the daily practice of a large number of Buddhists.  But what does this mean for a Westerner?  Often, Pure Land Buddhism can look very devotional or faith-based, and there is that aspect. It is one of many "Dharma doors" that leads to enlightenment by providing an expedient "training ground" to help anyone who wants to go there.  Learn about this fascinating and powerful Buddhist practice.
