	Amida Nyorai (Tathagata, Buddha) - Japanese Buddhist Deity; Photo Dictionary

		The Amida Sangha exists for the practice and propagation of Pureland Buddhism in the traditions deriving from the sages of India, China and Japan.
		The central practice of Pureland is unremitting mindfulness of the Tathagata; that is, of the spirit in which enlightened beings live, work and teach, both within the formal intensity of the dedicated practice environment and within the maelstrom of a world torn by poverty, disease, inequality and war.
		The Amida Order is therefore concerned both with engaged Buddhism and with the contemplative path and with the wholeness of the person who can be both active in service to others and stable in practice.

	What Is Amida
		The concept of "Amida" (i.e., a Japanese form of the two Sanskrit names of a Buddha: Amitabha (Limitless Light) and Amitayus (Limitless Life) is probably the most important concept in Shin Buddhism, the teachings of Shinran (1173-1262).
		Since "Amida" is a fictional character, he is (1) not a god (or a divine being) and (2) not a historical person.
		Amida is a symbol of the "humble and dynamic spirit." In our personal lives we must meet a person who embodies this spirit and discover "Amida" in ourselves.

	Amida and Christ:: Buddhism and Christianity
		If Amida is the totality of the meanings evoked in believers by the word, and if Christ is understood in the same way, then obviously Amida is not Christ and Christ is not Amida.
		As Amida constitutes the Wisdom and Compassion that work everywhere in all things; so Christ is known by Christians as the Wisdom and Love of God working in the world creatively and transformatively.
		But when "Amida" and "Christ" name the same feature of the totality, that is, the real and effective presence of wisdom and compassion everywhere and always, then what Buddhists believe about Amida and what Christians believe about Christ can be mutually confirming, mutually contradictory, or mutually supplementary.
