（Amita^bha-su^tra; also known as the Smaller Sukha^vati^-vyu^ha） 小无量寿经， the Small Scripture 小经， and the Four Sheet Scripture 四纸经. 1 fasc.， trans. in 402 by Kuma^raji^va 鸠摩罗什; with the full name of 佛说阿弥陀经 （T 366.12.346b-348b）. One of the three basic scriptures of the East Asian Pure Land school 净土宗， which gives an exact account of the Pure Land. It was commented on by a wide number of scholars after the Kuma^raji^va translation appeared. Before the Sui and Tang periods the Greater Sukha^vati^ Sutra and the Sutra on the Meditation on Infinite Life 观无量寿经 were predominant in Pure Land Teaching， but after Shandao's 善导 influence， this sutra came to be held in equal regard to the prior two. This was primarily a result of Shandao's Fashizan 法事赞， in which he explained the rituals associated with the reading of the text. It was also commented on by Sengzhao 僧肇 and Zhiyi 智顗.
