SB47-Sukhavatiyuha (Pure Land) Sutras
Sukhavatiyuha (Pure Land) Sutras are Mahayana sutras that describe the “Land of Bliss” or Sukhavati, the Western Paradise of Amitabha Buddha, the Buddha of Infinite Light. These sutras describe how Amitabha Buddha came to preside over this marvel-filled paradise and describe the layout and wonders of the Pure Land. They also describe the preconditions that lead to rebirth in this Buddhist paradise. They form the spiritual foundation for the Pure Land schools of Buddhism.
