| Abstract | The intention of this study is not to lay out a table of methods, in which any one way of positioning and doing nien-fo occupies a single，discrete place along a continuum. As the reader will see，the material does not lend Itself to such neat organization. Rather，itwish to pose the following analysis as a heuristic，a way of querying the material in order to see relationships with other practices that cut across the spectrum of Chinese Buddhist praxis in a number of directions at once. One may ask a series of questions of the materials at hand; the answer to one question may position the practice of nien-fo in one way for a particular authority，but in another way when a different question is asked of that same authority. Such an investigation must not be deemed unsuccessful if it falls to yield a rigorous and consistent taxonomy of practice; it simply gives us a way to think more systematically about the variety of .nien-fo methods that have appeared in the history of Chinese Pure Land Buddhism. |
