three kinds of mind [三心] ( san-jin): Three requisites for rebirth in the Pure Land of Perfect Bliss set forth in the Meditation on the Buddha Infinite Life Sutra. They are a sincere mind, a mind of deep faith, and a mind of resolve to be reborn in the Pure Land. In The Nembutsu Chosen above All, Hōnen (1133–1212), the founder of the Japanese Pure Land (Jōdo) school, emphasized these three kinds of mind as attitudes Pure Land believers should assume when reciting the name of Amida Buddha.
