For anyone, whose world view is rooted in western culture, Buddha Mindfulness is an unknown meditation, and its archaic transmission channel, the Pure Land Dharma, is mysterious. As a witness to both, my purpose in publishing this manuscript is two-fold: to explain and promote Buddha Mindfulness meditation, and to carefully unfold the mystery of Pure Land Dharma.Why publish a manuscript with two purposes? Why not take the easy route and write one small manuscript on Buddha Mindfulness, and write another larger manuscript on Pure Land Dharma? Fulfilling both purposes, in a single manuscript, is necessary to place Buddha Mindfulness meditation in its right setting. Though present in all forms of Buddhism, Buddha Mindfulness reaches its greatest breadth and depth of exposition only within the Pure Land sutras. These sutras are the guidebooks for the practice of Buddha Mindfulness meditation.
