Amida is a category for books focused on Amida (Amitābha), the Buddha of Infinite Light central to Pure Land Buddhism. It includes translations of key sutras (such as the Larger/Smaller Sukhāvatīvyūha and the Contemplation Sutra), studies of Pure Land, Jōdo, and Shin traditions, biographies of figures like Hōnen and Shinran, and practice guides on nembutsu and the path of other-power (tariki). The category also covers devotional literature, art and iconography, cultural history across East Asia, and contemporary reflections or fiction exploring themes of compassion, grace, and rebirth in the Pure Land. Note: in some contexts “Amida” can also refer to the Jewish Amidah prayer, which may be separated as its own subcategory.
