About this Manuscript

This text is part of the larger Sukhāvatīvyūha. It speaks of the Buddha Amitābha (or Amitāyus) and the Pure Land, also known as the Blessed Land. It describes people who perform good deeds and direct their thoughts toward enlightenment. If, at the moment of death, they think of Amitābha, they will attain the Pure Land, Sukhāvatī. (A History Of Indian Literature, Vol. 2, Winternitz, pp. 310-312). For further reference, consult the editions of the Sukhāvatīvyūha edited by Max Müller and Nanjio.
