| Abstract | Scholars of Heian Buddhism frequently comment that because of the
inμuence of Genshin's Õjõyõshð, Pure Land thought and practice spread rapidly
to all levels of society in the eleventh century. This assertion has become
so common that it is rarely questioned. In this article, I investigate eleventhcentury
sources, such as novels and diaries of aristocrats, and prove that the
Õjõyõshð is mentioned infrequently. The Eiga monogatari, the only text to
emphasize the Õjõyõshð, seems to be the exception to the rule and raises more
questions than it answers, since the author is unknown. While agreeing that
the Õjõyõshð was an important work, I conclude that Genshin was a pivotal
3gure in Heian Pure Land Buddhism less through his authorship of the
Õjõyõshð than through his participation in and leadership of a number of
religious fellowships.
