A Japanese gilt and patinated plaster figure of a seated Amida Nyorai (Amitābha) Buddha in a meditative posture, 20th C. H 46 cm Amida Buddha, also known as Amitābha, is one of the most revered figures in Japanese Buddhism, particularly in Pure Land Buddhism (Jōdo-shū and Jōdo Shinshū). He is the Buddha of Infinite Light and Infinite Life, representing compassion and wisdom. Amida Buddha is believed to have created a paradise known as the Pure Land (Jōdo), where all beings who sincerely call upon his name can be reborn. This paradise is free from the sufferings of the mortal world and is a place where enlightenment is easily attained. Amida Buddha's teachings emphasize universal salvation and offer hope and solace, making his worship one of the most accessible and beloved practices in Japanese Buddhism.
