Riassunto

Combines analyses of scriptural, exegetical, hagiographical, epigraphical, art historical, and literary materials to provide an episodic account of the Amitbha cult in Silla times (ca. 300-935) and its rise in an East Asian context through the mutually interconnected perspectives of doctrine and practice.
