The "Jingtu Cheng'en Ji" (Collection of Grace Received from the Pure Land), compiled by the Qing Dynasty monk Fanghui, is an important Pure Land Buddhist scripture. Composed during the Qing Dynasty, it inherits the traditional thought of the Chinese Pure Land school, primarily expounding the essential principles of practicing the Dharma gate of Amitābha Buddha's Pure Land. It emphasizes the core teachings of reciting the Buddha's name and seeking rebirth in the Western Paradise. Its contents include essential interpretations of Pure Land sutras, recorded sayings of patriarchs, and practical guidance for cultivation, presenting a systematic framework that facilitates understanding and practice for devotees. Venerable Fanghui compiled the teachings of past Pure Land masters in concise language, contributing to the popularization of Pure Land faith during the Qing Dynasty. This text holds a significant position among the canonical works of the Buddhist Pure Land school and is still regarded today as an important reference for practicing the Pure Land Dharma gate. It embodies the characteristics of the Pure Land school as easy to practice and easy to realize, exerting a profound influence on later generations.
