Yuzu Nembutsu (融通念仏宗, Yūzū-nenbutsu-shū) is a school of Pure Land Buddhism that focuses on the ritual recitation of the Nembutsu (or Nianfo), the name of the Amitabha Buddha.
The sect began in the twelfth century when a Tendai monk named Ryōnin (良忍, 1072–1132) wrote a commentary on rituals and hymns in practice at the time and founded the school in 1117, with its headquarters located at Dainenbutsu-ji in Osaka.
The distinction of this Pure Land sect lies in its emphasis on the nature of interconnectedness amongst phenomena.
[1] The recitation of the nembutsu was not merely an individual quest for salvation in the Pure Land.
