Two of the most effective and influential varieties of Buddhism in the East for more than one thousand years have been the school of Meditation (Chan/Zen) and the school of the Pure Land. These movements have presented radically different faces, but have also combined to produce enhanced efficiency in their methods.The synthesis of Chan/Zen and Pure Land practice produced a considerable range of teaching activity. Several of the central figures of Pure Land tradition in China were established Chan masters, and Pure Land practice eventually became a common component of Chan Buddhism. This collection brings together advice and instructions from diverse sources in the Buddhist canon illustrating the practical methods of integrating these forms of meditation.
