Abstract

Pure Land Buddhims ascribes to Amida some of the roles ascribed to God by Whitehead. The failure of Whiteheadians to clarify how God can play these role also leaves doubtful the claim of Pure Land Buddhism. On the other hand, Whitehead's emphasis on perpetual perishing reinforces the original Buddhist teaching of impermanence and together they provide the basic insight for authentic life.
