The *Treatise on the Samadhi of Buddha-Recollection According to the Avatamsaka*, composed by the lay Buddhist Peng Jiching of the Qing Dynasty, is one of the important treatises of the Pure Land school. Based on the unimpeded and perfectly interpenetrating doctrine of the Avatamsaka (Huayan) school, this treatise elucidates the theory and practical methods of the samadhi of Buddha-recollection. It integrates Avatamsaka thought with the Pure Land practice of Buddha-name recitation, emphasizing that single-minded recollection of the Buddha can perfectly accomplish the Buddha Way. The author, Peng Jiching, was a renowned lay Buddhist of the Qing Dynasty, proficient in the teachings of Confucianism, Buddhism, and Daoism. This treatise holds a lofty position in Buddhist history, regarded as a model work integrating Avatamsaka and Pure Land teachings, and has profoundly influenced later generations of Pure Land practice.
