The abrupt school of the Shodomon, consisting chiefly of the Avatamsaka, Tendai, and more especially the Shingon (Mantra) and Zen (Dhy- ana) school teaches that it is not necessary to pass through each one of these stages successively, for proper realization may enable one to jump over or leave out several stages or even to pass at one step from the lowest to the highest degree.
108 INTRODUCTION TO MAHAYANA BUDDHISM The Jodomon teaches that salvation by on...e's personal effort is difficult and useless, since we have at our comnaand the omnipotent and all embracing Tariki (other power) of Amitabha, the Universal Buddha who is, however, the true self of each one of us. Accordingly, if we practise the Tariki and have a deep devotion to the one Buddha we shall enter at death into the Pure Land of Amitabha, which is the surest and quickest way to gain Buddhahood. Consequently in the view of the Gradual school of the J5domon» to which belong the Jodo sect proper, the Pure Land is but a stepping stone to Buddhahood, while the Abrupt school, to which belongs the Shin sect, teaches that entering Jodomon is equivalent to becoming Buddha.
