Entry: Buddhaland

Chinese char: ¦ò¤g

Explanation:

A Buddhaland is a land in which a Buddha dwells. In the Buddhist sutras many worlds are discussed, some with Buddhas and some without. Those that have Buddhas are Buddhalands. For example, the Buddhaland where our historical Buddha Shakyamuni lived is our own world, called in Buddhism, the Saha World. The Buddhaland of the Buddha Amita is called the Land of Ultimate Bliss.
