Territory & Appearance

Buddha Land is centered on Spirit Mountain, an immense temple-covered mountain suspended in the starfield and radiant enough to resemble a star from afar. Smaller Buddha mountains surround and guard the central peak, while lotus-, pagoda-, and treasure-banner-shaped vessels move continuously through the nearby Star Gate hubs. 641

• Golden threads descend from the sky and form a heavenly curtain over Spirit Mountain. 453
• The mountain is formed from layers of scripture-refined luminous jade rather than ordinary stone or earth. 453
• Countless temples float among pale-golden clouds around the central mountain. 453
• Spirit Mountain's jade stairway contains ninety-five layered pocket-worlds, sealed by dense Rune Array patterns. 648

Major Figures

• World Honored One — Former Hao Ri ruler of Buddha Land. He sought Black and White Flowing Light, maintained the Body of Greed, Hatred, and Delusion beneath Spirit Mountain, and was later killed by Su Chen. 594 661 695
• Amitabha — Successor to the World Honored One; became the new ruler after the latter's death. 695
• Huijing — Buddha Land's second-in-command; temporarily became its only usable Moon Radiance after severe losses. 642 655
• Boundless Buddha — One of the Four Guardian Buddhas and a Moon Radiance. He led early operations in Flamefire Space and Dust Star Sea. 394 400
• Kongming — Boundless Buddha's disciple and one of the twelve Buddhist Sons. He possesses Azure God Talent and was considered a leading candidate for Dharma Protector Buddha. 398 400
• Six Arms — The sentient spirit nurtured by Buddha Land's Hao Ri Rune Array through Faith Power. 638

Internal Practices

• All Morning Stars and Moon Radiances are required to take up the Ferryer profession. 426
• Buddha Land's profession types create an “innate wisdom” connection to the organization, making infiltrators and planted spies unusually difficult to conceal. 638
• Its current generation includes twelve Buddhist Sons, with candidates such as Kongming groomed through exceptional resources, trials, and Holy Professions. 398 400
• Buddha Sariras can be used to elevate selected members to Moon Radiance, though such elevation is treated as a temporary measure to sustain the faction's strength. 641 648
• Huijing selected Ming Chi and Ming Hao as Dharma Protector Buddhas after a three-day sermon. 642

Resources & Methods

Faith Power

Buddha Land possesses the strongest known Faith Spirit-gathering capacity in Abyssless. Records indicate that it receives at least 200,000 Faith Spirits yearly—yet still experiences persistent internal shortages, implying an enormous undisclosed expenditure. 594

• Grand Vow Crystal — A ritual product combining grand vows with Faith Spirit; it can directly take up an ordinary profession or fulfill specified Holy Profession requirements. 471
• Buddha Land Great Vow Power — Refined Faith Power that can assist profession advancement, development, trait activation, and Refinement Methods. 535
• Faith Golden Bodies — Dense Faith Power vessels accumulated by affiliated temples; Wuqing Temple maintained twenty-eight before they were stolen. 618
• Buddha Sarira — Relics of Buddhas who entered nirvana, stored as a core reserve and usable for advancement or physical strengthening. 642 618

Refinement Methods

• Seven-Treasure Refinement Method — A supreme Buddha Land Refinement Method built around the Seven-Profession Wonder Tree and the compatibility of seven professions. 400 495
• Flower-Plucking Refinement Method — A dream-and-illusion-based method that can refine a target's professional spirituality into guardian Buddhas. 565
• Golden Body — Boundless Buddha's method for forcefully breaking free of Flamefire Space. 414 417

Defensive Systems

• Ten Directions Cyclical Karma Self-Binding Universe-Suppressing Rune Array — Buddha Land's Hao Ri Rune Array, capable of defense, attack, detection, recording, searching, suppression, and sealing. 638
• Six Arms Buddha Spirit — The Array's spirit, capable of mobilizing Faith Power and producing Hao Ri-level power intensity within Buddha Land. 648
• Offering Pagoda — A highly restricted repository for Buddha Sariras, accessible to fewer than five people before the Moon Radiance casualties. 642
• Delusion-Breaking Forest — A training ground for confronting inner demons that also suppresses and erodes the demonic thoughts of the sealed Body of Greed, Hatred, and Delusion. 652

History

Buddha Land entered the Dust Star Sea conflict when it occupied the Taixuan Family's sacrificial grounds with Vajra Strongmen, Heavenly Dragon Armor troops, and lotus-shaped warships. Boundless Buddha captured Taixuan Tianyi and pursued information concerning the Spirits of Radiant Moon. 394

Boundless Buddha later entered Flamefire Space with Kongming. Kongming completed the Hao Ri Trial and opened a Cultivation Residence, while Boundless Buddha attempted to locate Dust Star Sea and obtain its Spirits of Radiant Moon. His plans were complicated by the loss of Buddha Land's Seven-Profession Wonder Tree and by interference from the Ancient Kings. 400 411 416

Buddha Land subsequently attempted to expand into Dust Star Sea directly. Infinite Buddha's force breached the Sacred Cauldron Church's defenses and demanded that its members join Buddha Land, but the arrival of the Soaring Heavens Dao Lord prevented the takeover. 434

Its conflict with the Bronze Church escalated after Buddha Land discovered the Church's connection to Black and White Flowing Light. The World Honored One chose not to attack immediately, instead seeking a favorable moment to eliminate Su Chen and monopolize the light. 594 598

While the World Honored One was absent, Su Chen infiltrated Spirit Mountain under the identity of Bodhisattva Ming Nian. He observed Huijing's sermon, entered the Offering Pagoda, and stole seventy-one Buddha Sariras. 641 642 647 649

The infiltration triggered a wider internal crisis. The Buddha Sarira theft, Ming Chi's Weird God parasitism, and the stirring of the Body of Greed, Hatred, and Delusion coincided with a mass protest by Reward and Punishment Envoys outside Buddha Land's gates. 655 657

Su Chen later attacked Spirit Mountain directly, breached the sealing Rune Array, seized the Spirits of Radiant Moon, and awakened the Body of Greed, Hatred, and Delusion beneath Delusion-Breaking Forest. The World Honored One returned to find Buddha Land's key treasures gone and its hidden body released. 660 661 662

Following the World Honored One's death, Amitabha became the new World Honored One. Su Chen retained leverage over Buddha Land through the stolen Buddha Sariras and Spirit of Radiant Moon, ordering Amitabha to reform the faction's unhealthy practices and send followers to him. 695

Reputation & Conduct

Buddha Land historically possessed a good reputation during the Abyssless Era, and monks encountered in Mystic Pivot appeared comparatively normal. Its reputation outside Mystic Pivot, however, was far more sinister, with its methods widely associated with coercive conversion and the absorption of opponents into its hierarchy. 568 631

• Infinite Buddha presented forced recruitment as “enlightenment,” insisting that those who joined would only then understand that Buddha Land had always been their true desire. 434
• The World Honored One's reputation was severe enough that targets feared not only death, but also their relatives and friends being converted and turned against them. 631
• Buddha Land's monks continued to rely on the World Honored One's authority even during the crisis at Spirit Mountain, believing his return would resolve any threat. 658

Relationships

• Bronze Church — Hostile rival. Buddha Land targeted the Church over Black and White Flowing Light, while Su Chen repeatedly infiltrated and raided Buddha Land. 598 660
• Soaring Heavens — A fellow Pillar with close ties to the Bronze Church; its Dao Lord intervened against Buddha Land's attempted takeover of the Sacred Cauldron Church. 434
• Reward and Punishment Envoys — Their mass protest surrounded Buddha Land during its internal crisis, with roughly three million Envoys blocking its entrance. 656 657
• Wuqing Temple — Supported subordinate temple whose relics, Faith Golden Bodies, and defenses were raided by Su Chen. 618 619
• Body of Greed, Hatred, and Delusion — The World Honored One's sealed body beneath Delusion-Breaking Forest; its release exposed one of Buddha Land's deepest secrets. 652 661 662
• Old Gou and Wushi — External Final Ruins forces that infiltrated Buddha Land through Ming Chi and sought to corrupt the World Honored One. 641 653
