Refers to Pure Land practice. The Easy Path involves reliance on the power of the Buddhas and Bodhisattvas, in particular Buddha Amitabha ("other power") in addition to ones own cultivation("self power"). Usually contrasted with primary reliance on self power (Difficult Path of Practice), taught in other Buddhist schools. Equal reliance on self power and other power distinguishes the Pure Land School from most other schools of Buddhism. The distinction is, however, a matter of emphasis, as all schools of Buddhism rely, to a greater or lesser extent, on both self power and other power.
