Pure Land Buddhism
In a degenerate age, a simple Buddhist practice that anyone could resort to for enlightenment: devotion to Amitābha Buddha as expressed in the nembutsu. Thanks to Amitābha's compassion, beings are born in the Pure Land (Sukhāvatī in Sanskrit) where they can achieve enlightenment more easily.
Buddhismus des reinen Landes
In einem degenerierten Zeitalter, eine einfache buddhistische Praxis, auf die jeder zur Erleuchtung zurückgreifen kann: Hingabe an Amitābha Buddha, wie im Nembutsu ausgedrückt. Dank Amitābhas Mitgefühl werden Wesen im Reinen Land (Sukhavatī auf Sanskrit) geboren, wo sie leichter Erleuchtung erlangen können.

Even those who show mercy do good, when they are dying, hundreds and thousands of ghosts and gods will come and disturb you, change into your relatives, lead you to fall, not to mention those who do evil.

Lotus Sutra Ch.26 Dhāraṇī
Lecture by the Venerable Master Hsuan Hua
Some people can't read, how do they adhiṣṭhāna this Lotus Sutra?
Chant "Namo Lotus Sutra" concentratedly, read the name of the sutra only, is the same as reading the whole of the sutra. Because you can't read, and this is a way. Another way is that you can ask someone to help you adhiṣṭhāna it, ask someone to read it for you, ask someone to explain it for you, and ask someone to write it for you.
