簡介
The Amitabha Sutra is one of the three primary teachings by the Buddha on the Pure Land school of Mahayana straightforward as one reads of the Western Pure Land's marvelous adornments including golden sand , jeweled trees, birds that sing the teachings, and flowers that float down from the sky.
Closer study, however, will show that the sutra is incredibly profuse with symbolic representations and profound teachings.
As a consequence, commentaries on it have long proved invaluable to help readers and practitioners delve more deeply into the sutra.
Basing Pure Mind, Compassionate Heart on past commentaries of Pure Land patriarchs and masters, Venerable Wuling, a Pure Land Buddhist nun, offers this book as a brief introduction to this core Pure Land teaching, the Amitabha Sutra.
