INTRODUCTION

 General introduction

Of the various forms of Buddhism that developed after the demise of the historical Buddha in about 480 B.C., Mahayana (the “Great vehicle”) became the dominant tradition in East and parts of Southeast Asia. This broad area encompasses China, Vietnam Korea to Japan, and other countries as well.

Year after year, a number of Mahayana Buddhist Schools arose in accordance with the capacities and circumstances of the people in society. The dominant ones include the Zen, Pure Land and Esoteric. Schools, among them, Pure Land has been the most popular with the greatest number of adherents.
