須摩 [xu mo]—Sūmó—[Name of a realm] An abbreviation of Sūmótí (提 [ti]). It is also an alternative name for the Western Pure Land (西方極樂 [xi fang ji le]). The Chapter on the Origins of the Pure Land Dharma Gate (淨土法門源流章 [jing tu fa men yuan liu zhang]) states: "Within Rājagṛha (王舍城 [wang she cheng]), a splendid assembly of Sūmó was initiated." It is the same as Sūmótí.
