Essentials of Rebirth in 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.

Essentials of Rebirth in the Pure Land, The
往生要集 ( Jpn Ojo ﾭyoshu )
A work completed in 985 by Genshin, a priest of the Japanese Tendai school.
It is a compilation of passages from more than 160 sutras and treatises regarding the subject of rebirth in the land of Amida Buddha.
In this work, Genshin inspires fear of the sufferings of transmigration through the six paths and encourages people to arouse a longing for the Pure Land of Perfect Bliss, stressing meditation on Amida Buddha as the practice for attaining rebirth there.
The Essentials of Rebirth in the Pure Land became extremely popular and lent tremendous impetus to the rise of Pure Land practices in Japan.
