In his commentary to this new, definitive translation of the Amitabha Sutra, Vietnamese Zen Buddhist teacher Thich Nhat Hanh unlocks some of the deepest concepts of Buddhism. The Sutra is a core text of the Pure Land school of Buddhism, one of its most widely practiced forms. Introduced in the Buddha's own lifetime, Pure Land Buddhism puts us in touch with the beauty in our world, transforming suffering into happiness through meditation.
