For example, in "Daijogisho" (The Principles of Mahayana), by Eon (Sui), Jodo is categorized into Koto no Jodo (Pure Land for cases), So no Jodo (Pure Land for phenomenon) and Shin no Jodo (Pure Land for faith), and it regards Anraku Sekai (world of Anraku) of "Hokekyo" (Lotus Sutra) and Jodo of Amitabha in "Kanmuryoju-kyo sutra" as lower Koto no Jodo, and also as Odo (response land).
たとえば、慧遠(隋)の『大乗義章』では浄土を、事の浄土・相の浄土・真の浄土とわけ、『法華経』の安楽世界、『観無量寿経』の弥陀の浄土は劣なる事の浄土として、応土であるとする。
