Abhirati (lit. "The Joyous") is the eastern pure land associated with Akshobhya in Mahayana Buddhism. It is described in the Aká¹£obhyatathÃÂgatasyavyà «ha Sà «tra (Taishà  Tripiá¹Âaka, 313), which was first translated into Chinese by Lokaká¹£ema by 186 CE.
Although Abhirati emerged in the earliest era of Mahayana thought, Abhirati is far less widely known than SukhÃÂvatë, the pure land of AmitÃÂbha that has been the sole focus of Pure Land Buddhism since the Tang dynasty.
