Pure Land Buddhism or Pure Land School is a broad branch of Mahayana Buddhism focused on achieving rebirth in a Pure Land. It is one of the most widely practiced traditions of Buddhism in East Asia. Pure Land Buddhism is a tradition which is primarily focused on achieving rebirth in a Buddha's "pure land" or buddha-field, which generally speaking is a Buddha's field of influence. Some Buddha-fields are considered to be superior places to spiritually train for full Buddhahood, since a Buddha has compassionately "purified" it for this purpose and since in these realms, one can meet a Buddha face to face and study under them. Since it is much easier to attain enlightenment in one of these buddha-fields, many Mahayana Buddhists strive to be reborn in such a place. The most common pure land today is that of Amitābha, called Sukhavati, "Land of Bliss". Mahayana Buddhists may also aspire to be reborn in other pure lands, such as the Buddhafields of Aksobhya and Medicine Guru. In Tibetan Buddhism, adherents may also aspire to other pure lands such as that of Ratnasambhava. Although the Buddhas are venerated in Pure Land traditions and are seen as savior figures, the tradition clearly distinguishes itself from theistic religions, due to its roots in the classic Mahayana understanding of Buddhahood and bodhisattvas, as well as the Buddhist doctrines of emptiness and mind-only. Pure Land oriented practices and concepts form an important component of the Mahāyāna Buddhist traditions of China, Japan, Korea, Vietnam, the Himalayas and Inner Asian regions such as Tibet. In Tibetan Buddhism, prayers and practices which aim at rebirth in a Buddha-field are a popular religious orientation, especially among laypersons. The most distinctive feature of East Asian Pure Land traditions is that "it offers practitioners a chance for non-elite, illiterate, Intellectual disabled or previously immoral people to have hope that by dedication and commitment Buddhahood is accessible, rebirth in the Pure Land of the Buddha Amitabha, nihilation of their accumulated karma, escape from samsara, and the stage of non-retrogression." In East Asian Buddhism, the three primary texts of the Pure Land tradition are the Longer Sukhāvatīvyūha Sūtra, Amitayurdhyana Sutra and the Shorter Sukhāvatīvyūha Sūtra. The Pratyutpanna-samādhi-sūtra is also an important source, particularly for early Chinese Pure Land. East Asian Pure Land Buddhism mostly relies on the practice of mindfulness of the Buddha, which is called niànfó in Chinese and entails reciting the name of Amitabha. However, Pure Land Buddhism also includes a large group of practices which are done alongside Buddha recitation. The practice of abstaining from eating animals or animal by-products called chún jìng sù (纯净素) in Chinese, translates as pure Buddhist vegetarian/vegan denoting the aspiration and transcendence to higher levels of non violence through physical practice.
