The Admonitions on Buddha-Recitation was compiled by the lay Buddhist Peng Jiching during the Qing Dynasty, completed in the Qianlong era. This work gathers essential teachings, accounts of rebirth in the Pure Land, and exhortations from past patriarchs and venerable masters of the Pure Land tradition, focusing on the practice of Buddha-recitation. Its purpose is to urge practitioners to diligently recite the Buddha's name, deepen their faith and vows, and aspire for rebirth in the Pure Land. As a significant text of the Pure Land school, it systematically summarizes the core principles of Buddha-recitation practice and reinforces the threefold path of faith, vow, and practice. It has profoundly influenced the spread and cultivation of the Pure Land Dharma since the Qing Dynasty and remains an indispensable guide for those practicing the method of Buddha-recitation.
