In Jodo Shinshu Sect, however, it is believed that a person who died while having faith in Amida Nyorai (Amitabha Tathagata) (Tarikihongan (salvation through the benevolence of Buddha)) is able to go immediately to the Pure Land (land where Amida Nyorai resided) and reincarnate as a Buddha (Ojo soku Jobutsu (going to heaven and immediately becoming a Buddha)).
しかし浄土真宗においては、阿弥陀如来に帰依して（他力本願）亡くなった者は速やかに極楽浄土（阿弥陀如来の仏国土）に往き仏として生まれる（往生即成仏）とされている。
