abstract
  • Pure land in the Buddhadharma is an English rendering of the celestial realm or pure abode of a buddha or bodhisattva. Various Buddhadharma traditions have arisen that focus on Pure Lands in various capacities, especially what has been given the nomenclature Pure Land Buddhism. Pure lands are also evident in the literatures and traditions of Taoism and Bon . Forms of Pure Land Buddhism were evident in early Indian Buddhism much earlier than the medieval period which was held by early Western scholarship. From a historical perspective the notion of 'pure lands' was an embedded meme inherited from other Dharmic Traditions already evident in the Dharma, the notion of a pure land may have evolved from the Uttarakuru a divine continent in ancient Dharmic cosmology. In the Buddhadharma, the pure realms are all accessible through ever-refining experiential meditation and trance sadhana.
