| dc.description.abstract | <p>Among the Chinese Pure Land authors of the T'ang dynasty, Shan-tao (613-681) occupies a place of eminence. In his commentary on the Amitāyur-Buddhānusmṛti-sūtra (ABAS) he develops his personal views on Pure Land thought and practiice, against the interpretations of other masters, such as Hui-yüan, Chih-i and Chi-taang.</p> <p>After an introductory part, discussing the origin of the Amita-cult, the ABAS, and Shan-tao's life and works, his teaching is systematically analyzed in the light of his views on rebirth in Amita's Land and the various methods by which to achieve rebirth. In a final chapter Shan-tao's significance is discussed.</p> | en_US |
