對追求往生淨土成佛現象的再思考：以梵本Sukhāvatīvyūha（略本《樂有莊嚴》）為參考點=Rethinking on the Soteriology of Attaining Buddhahood Through Rebirth in the Pureland: With Sanskrit Text The Smaller Sukhāvatīvyūha as a Reference
With reference to the Sanskrit text The Smaller Sukhāvatīvyūha, this thesis explores the fact that the soteriological notions of the Pureland Buddhism, including but not limited to the chanting of the Buddha’s names, purelands and rebirth, are ever-changing in retrospect. It also attempts to illustrate the possible benefits brought about by the pureland soteriology by citing relevant theories of religious psychology. It concludes by reassessing the opposing positions that are poles apart and rethinking the value of the belief of rebirth in the pureland.
