Nenbutsu Buddhism (including Jodoshu (Pure Land Buddhism) and Jodo Shinshu (the True Pure Land Sect of Buddhism)) is based on the Three Sutras of Pure Land (the Sutra of Immeasurable Life, the Meditation Sutra and the Amida Sutra) and worships Amida Buddha instead of Buddha himself.
念仏宗（浄土宗や浄土真宗など）は、浄土三部経を所依とし、釈迦ではなく阿弥陀如来を立てる。
