There is a close relationship between Su Shi (苏轼1037AD-1101AD) and the Amitabha Buddha’s Pure Land. An examination of the legend of Su Shi’s rebirth, the reason for his contacting with the Pure Land and his view on the Pure Land shows that “the evidence of Su Shi’s rebirth in the Western Paradise” was derived and developed by later generations on the basis of the letters between Su Shi and Can Liao (参寥). Su Shi’s relationship with Pure Land was influenced by three factors: family tradition, regional environment (Bashu, which is a region associated with modern-day Chongqing and Sichuan, and Jiangsu and Zhejiang area etc.) and monks who made friends with him (Hui Bian慧辩, Yuan Jing元净, Yuan Zhao 元照, etc.). Su Shi’s view of Amitabha’s Pure Land includes the visible and invisible Pure Land. On the one hand, he performed Buddhist rites to save the souls of the deceased family members and friends to be reborn in the Pure Land by the visible meritorious deeds, such as painting the statue of Amitabha, holding land and water Buddhist service, praying to Buddha and chanting sutras. On the other hand, he showed the invisible Pure Land through poetry and prose, emphasizing the interpenetrating nature of the Pure Land, that is, the earth is the Pure Land, which accords with the supreme mystic truth and the spirit of pleasure.
