Pure Land belief origined in India.In Buddhism time,the Buddha gradually became a myth in people's heart,and produced many Bunsen photometer stories.In Mahayana Buddhism time,all sorts of pure land ideological was collected.the amida pure land emerged,and became the summary and the peak in this trend.In Dynasty Han,the idea about pure land's spread to China.In Dynasty Jin,there appeared some votaries of pure land.From dynasties Southern to Northern,the pure land belief seeped to each stratum. To realize the belief,people seriously valued the practice of taking statuaries,and looked it as a form of accumulatting merit.At the same time,people also copied and red Confucian classics,prayed the Buddha's name,and so on.Tan Luan who was born in Northern Dynasty has proven the amida pure land firstly,and established the doctrine system of amida pure land.He laid the foundation which the pure land buddhism populaned,thus India's pure land belief became Chinese pure land theory,Tan Luan actually the founder of pure land buddhism.Form dynasty Sui to Tang,each Chinese Buddhism sect established,large quantities of famous monks also reserched the pure land theory while elaborated their believes.Simultaneously,there were also some arguments:Is it possible reborn in the pure land actually? What the Pure land is? Which people can be born in the pure land? On the one hand this reflected the active and deepening of the pure land theory,on the other hand this reflected the pure land religious doctrine's imperatively.This duty was mainly completed by Dao chuo and Shan dao. They discussed the teaching system of the pure land,the nature of it,the main way to reborn in it and the Status of the people who reborn in it.They have made the comprehensive elaboration,which enabled the pure land belief had the true religious shape.However,the pure land buddhism lacks a set of strict inheritance system, therefore,it was named "lodges the ancestor".At the same time,secularization degree of the pure land belief was also deepening.And praying the Buddha's name have become the mainly method.It penetrated into each social's stratum,and influenced more and more people.
