Commentary on "The Treatise on the Pure Land
Tibetan Buddhist Encyclopedia is now 14 years old
Our Encyclopedia recently received a wonderful opportunity for a major renewal on its 14th birthday . After many years of growing our Encyclopedia had become bit slow and sometimes even decided not to answer when people knocked on the door.
A very big thank you and blessings to Dmytro Rudiy (rudiy.nl) for his great work in upgrading the server, website and all of the infrastructure and helping make TBE fast and reliable again for everyone!
We kindly ask our readers to help us cover the cost of this important upgrade and also help with the ongoing costs of keeping the Encyclopedia alive and freely available.

Commentary on "The Treatise on the Pure Land," The
浄土論註 (Chin Ching-t’u-lun-chu; Jpn Jodo-ron-chu )
Also known as The Commentary on "The Treatise on Rebirth in the Pure Land." A commentary by T'an-luan (476-542) of China on Vasubandhu's Treatise on the Pure Land, which is itself a commentary on the Buddha Infinite Life Sutra. The Com mentary on "The Treatise on the Pure Land" consists of two volumes. The first volume comments on the verse section of Vasubandhu's treatise, and the second, on the prose section. This work explains the practices for attaining rebirth in the Pure Land of Amida Buddha and exhorts the practitioner to discard the difficult-to-practice way and follow the easy-to-practice way by relying solely upon Amida Buddha's mercy. This idea of reliance on Amida's grace has been emphasized in the Japanese Pure Land school.
