three Pure Land sutras
浄土三部経 (Jpn Jodo-sambu-kyo )
The three basic sutras of the Pure Land schools in Japan. They are the Buddha Infinite Life Sutra, the Meditation on the Buddha Infinite Life Sutra, and the Amida Sutra. Honen (1133-1212), the founder of the Japanese Pure Land school, termed these three sutras the three Pure Land sutras. The three sutras praise the Pure Land of Perfect Bliss, i.e., the Pure Land of Amida Buddha, and exhort people to aspire to rebirth there.
