| Refs: | Britannica doesn't capitalize. https://www.britannica.com/topic/Buddhism/Pure-Land "These doctrines and the practice of invoking the name Amitabha—called nembutsu in Japanese and nianfo in Chinese—became popular in China and Japan, where it was believed that the world had reached the decadent age, the so-called “latter days of the law” in which Buddhist doctrines were unclear and humans lacked the purity of heart or determination to attain salvation by their efforts." |

| Comments: | Tes, I signed off that entry without capitals, but I guess I'd like to be sure we have consensus. I'm not really into what is usual in Buddhist terminology. I prefer to avoid capitals when it's not a named entity. |
