One parable in this religion speaks of a man who follows a narrow path separating a river of fire to the south and a river of water to the north. That story is known as the "Parable of the White Path" and was written by Shandao, who was an adherent to this faith. This religion also speaks of two paths by which an adherent may seek the stage of non-retrogression in a world afflicted with the Five Turbidities. The Sukhavativyuha (Sook-Hah-Va-Tiv-Yoo-Hah) is one of the principle scriptures of this school, and recounts how the bodhisattva Dharmakara took forty-eight vows that led to his rebirth as the "Infinite Light." Henceforth, practitioners of this religion who receive salvation by faith often repeat that figure's name in an effort to be reborn in this religion's namesake haven.
