I’m aware there are different ways to understand the term Akanishta, but I’m curious if in any of the ways, there are descriptions of a pure land similar to how there are extensive descriptions of Sukhavati. That is, descriptions with characteristics of a certain type.
Are there any sources that discuss this?
Thank you.
