Buddha contemplation
Buddha contemplation (Chinese: guānfo 觀佛), also known as Contemplative nenbutsu (Japanese: kan nenbutsu, 観念仏) is a central Buddhist meditation practice in East Asian Buddhism, especially popular in Pure Land Buddhism, but also found in other traditions such as East Asian Yogācāra, Tiantai and Huayan. This practice involves the visualization and contemplation of a mental image of a Buddha and the attributes of their Pure Land, aiming to develop faith, devotion, and a deep connection to the Buddha's spiritual qualities.
