먼저 정토수행으로는 믿음이 가장 중요하다. 극락정토와 아미타불의 존재에 대한 믿음 없이는 극락왕생과 깨달음을 인정할 수 없다. 첫째는 『無量壽經』의 “至心信樂欲生我國乃至十念”을 중심으로 信과 願과 回向을 살펴보았다. 실은 참으로 지극한 마음으로 믿기만 하여도 이미 모든 수행은 완성되었다고 볼 수도 있다. 둘째는 信心이 없는 사람이나 임종자를 위하여 가장 쉽게 수행할 수 있는 방법으로 아미타불의 명호를 듣기만 해도 왕생이 가능하다고 한다. 셋째는 정토교의 가장 대표적인 수행방법은 염불수행이다. 이를 제18원의 乃至十念을 중심으로 칭명염불에 대해서 살펴보았다. 넷째는 염불선수행은 한국불교에서 가장 많이 행해지고 있는 방법이다. 禪修行을 표방하는 수행자들이 많이 실천하고 있는 방법으로 이를 觀念念佛, 禪淨雙修, 念佛公案의 수행법으로 분류해 보았다. 이는 觀察門에 해당한다. 다섯째는 참회와 지계수행에 대해서 살펴보았다. 참회의 방법으로 널리 행하는 것은 예배, 절이며, 지계는 오계와 팔재계, 구족계 등의 수지를 말한다. 이와 같은 정토수행법은 가장 쉬운 믿음에서부터 聞名과 稱名, 觀念, 念佛禪, 懺悔와 持戒 등 다양하다. 이는 누구나 시간과 공간에 구애받지 않고 실천할 수 있는 방법으로 현대인들에게 가장 적합한 수행법으로 생각된다.

The most essential element of the Pure Land practice is the faith on the Pure Land of Happiness(極樂淨土)and Amita Buddha, which makes it possible to acknowledge rebirth in paradise(極樂往生) and enlightenment. First of all, this article contemplates faith(信), vow(願) and a Buddhist memorial(回向) focusing on JiSyimSinYoYokSaengAhGookNaeJiSyipNyum(至心信樂欲生我國乃至十念) in 『MooRyangSooGyung(無量壽經)』. In fact, all the Buddhist practices can be thought to be already completed only with sincere faith. Secondly, this is the easiest way for people with no religious conviction or the dying to practice. Only listening to the words Amita Buddha enables people who recite it for rebirth in paradise. Third, the practice of the invocation is the one that represents all the practices taught in Pure Land sect. The Buddhist invocation of the names of Buddhas(稱名念佛) is examined in this article focusing on NaeJiSyipNyum(乃至十念). Fourth, the invocation practice is the most common Buddhist practice that is performed in Korean Buddhism. This is especially advocated by people who follow Seon practice of Buddhism. This article attempted to classify it into GwanNyumYumBul(觀念念佛), SeonJeongYumBul(禪定念佛), and YumBulGongAn(念佛公案), which come under GwanChalMoon(觀察門). Fifth, repentance(懺悔) and Buddhist commandments(持戒) are examined. Buddhist rituals and bows are the most common ways of repentance and commandments such as five commandments(五戒), eight commandments(八齋戒), GooJock commandments(具足戒). There is a wide variety of Pure Land practices from the faith on Pure Land which is the easiest way, to MyungMoon(聞名) and ChingNyum(稱念), and to GwanNyum(觀念), YumBoolSeon(念佛禪), repentance(懺悔) and commandments(持戒). As described above, this Pure Land practice can be the most suitable practice for modern people as a way of practicing Buddhism with no hindrance of time and space.

정토신앙의 요체는 阿彌陀佛에게 귀의하여 간절하게 염원하여 극락정토에 往生하려는 것이다. 이러한 念佛修行의 意味는 일반적으로 五濁惡世에서 轉迷開悟의 어려움에 부처님의 본원력을 요청하는 것이다. 즉, 먼저 염불에 의해서 無限劫來의 業障을 消滅하는 것이며, 다음은 삼매를 통해서 見佛하여 인천의 스승이 되고, 셋째는 만인을 위한 만인의 구제인 極樂往生으로 不退轉을 이루며, 넷째는 궁극적으로 無生法忍을 얻어 열반과 깨달음을 실현하는 것이다. 다시 말해서 염불수행은 인간의 한계성에서 아미타불의 本願力과 大慈悲에 의존하여 왕생하고 물러남이 없는 경지에 이르러 남이 없는 진리를 체득하여 청정한 깨달음을 완성하는 성불의 길이다. 그래서 염불수행은 그 과정에서 자력과 타력이 조화되는 상보적인 관계에 있다. 이러한 염불수행의 역사적 과정은 南無佛로부터 三念으로 四念ㆍ六隨念ㆍ十隨念ㆍ五停心觀을 거쳐 중국에서 여러 염불로 다종다양해졌지만 四種念佛로 정리된다. 그 중에 純粹淨土家에서는 稱名念佛을 중요시하여 강조하였다. 이는 五濁惡世의 無佛의 시대에 時期相應하는 염불수행은 難行道를 易行道로 바꾸어 부처님의 가피력에 의해서 수행의 목적을 완성하는 것이다. 이에 전제조건으로 發菩提心을 비롯하여 信心ㆍ願心ㆍ往生迴向을 가지고 一心不亂하게 진실하고 절실한 마음으로 아미타부처님의 名號와 正報와 依報를 관하고 생각하면서 念念相續하여 不斷念佛하는 것이다. 그리하여 금생에서는 삼매를 통해서 부처님을 친견하여 안락을 얻어 인천의 스승이 되고, 내세에는 왕생하여 열반의 세계가 실현된 극락세계를 감득하는 것이다.

The essence of the Pure Land faith, rely on earnestly desire and willingness to Amita Buddha is to go to the birth in the Pure Land. Typically, the meaning of performing these Buddhist invocation, turbidity, and five kinds of evil in the world, open to the top of the deceiver to change the enlightenment, the Buddha is to request the power of the original petition. One is to destroy eopjang(業障) by a Buddhist invocation, and then you will see the Buddha through samadhi, become the teacher of the people and the sky, and the third, for the people to the salvation of the people, to go the Pure Land, where the ground do not go away is achieved, the fourth, the births are not ultimately get to the truth, is to achieve Nirvana and enlightenment. In other words, execution of buddhist invocation is done, the castle because of the limitations of human beings, to rely on Amita Buddha's original wish him strength and mercy, was born, reached the ground and not retreat, not born to get to the truth of enlightenment and Buddha will be completed. So, the performing of buddhist invocation is done, in the process, the combination of his strength and power of others, help each other in relationships. This historical process of doing a buddhist invocation in India in the Namobuddhaㆍtree smṛtiㆍfour smṛtiㆍṣaḑ-anusmṛtayaḥㆍ十隨念ㆍ五停心觀 through and in China as many Buddhist invocation variety can organize, but to Four types of the practice of the Buddhist invocation(四種念佛). That is highlighted in The pure Land(淨土) Buddhist invocation of the names of Buddhas(稱名佛念) and will be important. These Buddhist invocation of the names of Buddhas destroyed eopjang(業障) through the process of samadhi, and to see the Buddha, and, ultimately, to go to the Pure Land, this is Nirvana and the Buddha. This, the Buddha of the world do not have five kinds of evil times, the times and people respond to each other, the performing of buddhist invocation is done, the hard way, for an easy change, I've been getting the help of Buddha, is to complete the purpose of performing. Furthermore, as a precondition to realize the mind and heart want to believe, including who was born and tried to get him a heart to heart with the truth not complicated, and needs in mind and Amita Buddha's name and the meaning of life and will subject I think the place to watch and think about each other is swollen with broken resume. Thus, in this life, samadhi through, can see to meet Buddha, get happy, restful, and the teacher of human beings and the sky, and the dead, you go to the Pure Land, Nirvana the world become reality, I feel the world is the Pure Land.

In this study, the appearance of Buddhist Invocation in the scriptures was investigated. Buddhist Invocation is a means of making Buddha and people united. Bulgukto (極樂), which we meet through prayer, is a world of joy without pain. The way to return to paradise is to sing the name of Amitabha Buddha and have enlightenment. However, it is necessary to have enlightenment, not just chanting the name of the Buddha. Prerequisites are necessary to fully carry out the process of Buddhist Invocation. First, you need to know the knowledge of all things in a series through the Mun(聞), and through your thoughts (思) and performance(修) should be accomplished. In the meantime, we had a biased prayer. Unconditional belief was the basis, but the method and meaning of prayer were overlooked. In order to become a complete contemplation, faith(信) is the basis, and the practice(行) of what we know must be accomplished through prior education that supports it. So far, we have been so neglected of the only way regeneration is saved. If you meet the meeting of Amitabha Buddha through the Buddhist scriptures based on the scriptures and make a sincere and complete self-reflection, you will be able to find out your true self and build a new depth of faith.
