29.26

Dharma Master Yihe was granted the title Yuancheng. During the Qiandao era, he resided at Huiyin, and later moved to Nengren in Pingjiang. Perusing the records and accounts of the Pure Land, and considering that among the Avataṃsaka texts there were none that explicitly propagated the practice of recollecting the Buddha, he composed the Inexhaustible Lamp, using the essential tenets of this sūtra to specifically praise the Western direction as the method of recollecting the Buddha to attain rebirth (the text is found in the Classified Writings of the Land of Bliss).
