Pureland is the teachings of seeking rebirth in the Buddhalands ,where one's practise continues .

The Common one is of course Amitabha Sukhavati(Western Paradise )

Avalokiteshvara Pureland in Potalaka

hmm, funny Putuoshan is considered a pureland. tis rare i heard of ppl practice Guan Yin recitation to seek rebirth in Potalaka (Putuoshan). btw Avalokiteshvara is residing in Western Pureland of Amitabha too.

read up more ....

Guanyin is everywhere around us .The thing is one does not seek rebirth to Potalaka of the Physically in Tibet or Mt Pu tuo but the Spiritual World of Mt Pu tuo.

the Guanyin Pureland is more emphasized by the Vajrayana tradition than the Mahayana tradition

Anyway Guanyin is residing in Western Paradise of Amitabha ,there is no question about it

t'is why i said "rare i heard(/read)".
if it's a Varjayana teaching, ok fine, i can understand. but i don't purposely go dig up information that does not come into mind, if u know what i mean.
