The Shasekishū has the idea that everyone can reborn in the Pure Land. However, it does not contain the idea that this real world is a manifestation of Buddha. Finally, the Tsurezuregusa accepts the real world. It finds the truth in the real world and might be affected by Tendai hongaku philosophy.
