In his Kangyōsho jihitsushō 観経疏自筆鈔 Shōkū 証空 (1177–1247) notes that one can obtain mushōnin 無生忍 (anutpattika-dharma-kṣānti) in two ways. The first is the attainment of rebirth in Amitābha Buddha’s Pure Land. This is recorded in the beginning of the seventh vision the Guan Wualiangshou jing 観無量寿経, and signifies that one will never return to this Saha world. The second is the attainment of the dharma-body. After attaining rebirth in the Pure Land, one attains the dharma-body. Shōkū speaks of these two types because they are essential to explain the two types of transfer of merit, the outgoing (ōsō 往相) and returning (gensō 還相). The first type of attainment refers to the former mode, the second to the latter. Attaining the dharma-body is essential to return and save beings.
