"Centered on the practice of seeking rebirth in the Pure Land paradise Sukhāvatī,
the Amitābha cult has been the dominant form of Buddhism in Korea since the middle
of the Silla period (ca. 300-935). In Aspiring to Enlightenment, Richard McBride combines
analyses of scriptural, exegetical, hagiographical, epigraphical, art historical,
and literary materials to provide an episodic account of the cult in Silla times and
its rise in an East Asian context through the mutually interconnected perspectives
of doctrine and practice. McBride demonstrates that the Pure Land tradition emerging
in Korea in the seventh and eighth centuries was vibrant and collaborative and that
Silla monk-scholars actively participated in a shared, international Buddhist discourse.
Monks such as the exegete par excellence Wŏnhyo and the Yogācāra proponent Kyŏnghŭng
did not belong to a specific sect or school, but like their colleagues in China, they
participated in a broadly inclusive doctrinal tradition. He examines scholarly debates
surrounding the cults of Maitreya and Amitābha, the practice of buddhānusmṛti,
the recollection of Amitābha, the "ten recollections" within the larger Mahāyāna
context of the bodhisattva's path of practice, the emerging Huayan intellectual tradition,
and the influential interpretations of medieval Chinese Pure Land proponents Tanluan
and Shandao. Finally, his work illuminates the legacy of the Silla Pure Land tradition,
revealing how the writings of Silla monks continued to be of great value to Japanese
monks for several centuries. With its fresh and comprehensive approach to the study
of Pure Land Buddhism, Aspiring to Enlightenment is important for not only students
and scholars of Korean history and religion and East Asian Buddhism, but also those
interested in the complex relationship between doctrinal writings and devotional practice
"on the ground""
