Buddha-kṣetra
Buddha-kṣetra (Skt., ‘Buddha-field’). The sphere of influence and activity of a Buddha. The most famous of the pure buddha-fields or Pure Lands is the paradise of the Buddha Amitābha (Amida) in the west, described in the Sukhāvatívyūha Sūtras, into which all may be reborn by calling upon the name of Amitābha. The existence of these pure buddha-fields became immensely important in the development of popular devotional Buddhism especially in China and Japan.
