Enlightening Land Nirvanism (Serican: 悟土宗 Wùtǔzōng), often also known by the Tenzanese equivalent term Godokyō (Tenzanese: 悟土敎), is a broad Mahagaurava Nirvanist tradition centered on faith in the prajna Amita, and the aspiration to be reborn in his Enlightening Land, a realm free from suffering where attaining enlightenment is guaranteed. It emerged in South Asteria, but flourished especially throughout East Asteria. Central practices include chanting for the Prajna (念若, Serican: niànrě, Tenzanese: nennya), and cultivating sincere faith, particularly for laypeople who may find monasticism or meditation too difficult.
It is the most popular Nirvanist tradition in each separate East Asterian nation, from Serica to Tenzan. Influx of political and religious refugees from the Union State have strengthened Enlightening Land schools within Tenzan, further solidifying the country's identity as a hub for Nirvanism in spite of Shimbutsudo's institutional strength.
