Question

A tract recommending this religious practice instructs readers, once they’ve finished, to “bury it under a wall” and avoid corrupting anyone else. The “Time” school heavily promoted Kuya’s combination of this practice with ritual dance. This practice is said to be the source of the “three minds” in the One-Sheet Document. A supporter of this practice renamed himself “Bald-Headed Fool” after his doctrine of (*) “exclusive” reliance on this practice resulted in a 1207 ban. Buddhists are directed to perform this practice ten times in the eighteenth of a certain figure’s “Forty-Eight Vows.” The monks Shinran and Honen taught that only this practice was necessary (10[1])for rebirth (10[1])in Sukhavati (SOO-kah-VUH-tee). For 10 points, name or describe this sacred chant from (-5[1])Pure Land Buddhism. (0[1])■END■
