Pure Land & Zen

Frequently Asked Questions on Buddhist Practices:  

"Which path should I follow?"

"I like practising Zen (or Ch'an) meditation, but I've heard some people say this is not necessary, because the best cultivation method is recitation of Amitabha Buddha's name. What should I do? Do I need to abandon my meditation practice?"

"Can I really go to Amitabha's Pure Land, and be liberated from birth & death just by reciting his name? Can I also practice meditation? Some have advised that I should only focus on one practice. What should I do?"

"What is Amitabha's Pure Land practice? 
What is Zen or Chan meditation? 
What have these got to do with me?"
