Amida Nyorai (阿弥陀如来), known as Amitābha Buddha, is revered in Japanese Pure Land Buddhism as the Buddha of Infinite Light and Life. His teachings reached Hawaiʻi with Japanese immigrants, who established Buddhist temples and preserved their spiritual traditions. Today, Amida remains central to Honpa Hongwanji and Jōdo-shū communities across the islands. This Hawaiʻi-inspired painting depicts him seated upon a lotus throne, surrounded by tropical flowers, ocean waves and Diamond Head, symbolizing compassion, wisdom and spiritual liberation.

Japanese Amida Buddha Triad Statue
Amida Nyorai is the Japanese form of Amitābha Buddha and the central Buddha of Pure Land Buddhism. He presides over the Western Pure Land, Gokuraku Jōdo, where beings can progress toward enlightenment free from many worldly obstacles. Devotees place their trust in Amida’s compassion and recite Namu Amida Butsu (南無阿弥陀仏). He is often accompanied by Kannon Bosatsu and Seishi Bosatsu, forming the Amida Triad.
