This study considers ideas about the Intermediate State in Chinese Pure Land, using the Qunyi lun 群疑論 written by the Tang period monk Huaigun 懐感 （d.u.）. Traditionally, it was Huaigun who introduced this discussion into Pure Land thought. However, in this study, I review the points of Huaigunʼs ideas and reconfirm the theory of the Pure Land Buddhists in the early Tang dynasty. As a result, I point out two things: First, the person who introduced the idea of the Intermediate State to Chinese Pure Land religion was Daoyin 道誾 （d.u.）, not Huaigun. Second, Huaigunʼs idea was developed to criticize Daoyinʼs idea.
