Single-minded Practice school
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.

Single-minded Practice school
一向宗 ( Jpn Ikko-shu)
Another name for the True Pure Land ( Jodo Shin) school founded by Shinran (1173-1262) in Japan.
"Single-minded" reflects the school's belief that the single-minded invocation of Amida's name and devotion to Amida Buddha lead to rebirth in that Buddha's Pure Land.
Because of pressure from the Pure Land school and other related schools, however, the school refrained from publicly naming itself the True Pure Land school.
Instead it used the name Single-minded Practice school until 1872, when the name True Pure Land school was officially adopted.
