Pure Land Buddhism as a whole has received comparatively little attention in Western studies on Buddhism despite the importance of 'buddha-fields' (pure lands) for the growth and expression of Mah?y?na Buddhism. In this first religious history of Tibetan Pure Land literature, Georgios Halkias delves into a rich collection of literary, historical, and archaeological sources to highlight important aspects of this neglected pan-Asian Buddhist tradition.
