Visions of Sukhavati
Shan-tao's Commentary on the Kuan wu-liang-shou-Fo ching
Julian F. Pas , Professor of Religious Studies Julian F Pas , Shan-Tao-Ta-Shih
T'ang monk Shan-tao was instrumental in the propagation and popularity of this devotional school. He was an ascetic and serious meditator who followed the techniques of visualization explained in the Sutra on Visualizing Buddha Amita, and his commentary on this text was later considered to be his most outstanding work. Western authors, however, misrepresent Shan-tao because they follow the lead of Japanese Jodo Shinshu masters who deemphasized meditative practices. With the hope that old stereotypes will be dropped, this book lets the Chinese texts speak for themselves.
