This project aims to document and investigate the historical development and different forms of Pure Land Nianfo practice in Hong Kong which has a rich history of well-established salient lineages and where various distinctive practices have been propagated. We hope to contribute to the preservation of the Amitabha Pure Land Nianfo Practice by inscribing the practice as an Intangible Cultural Heritage of Hong Kong.
