The AmidaUSA Origanization
Amida USA is a church (with non-profit/public charity status) based in Hawai'i. Its mission is to help make available the teachings of Amida-shu Pureland Buddhism through-out the United States and to support the growth and development of individuals/groups in their understanding and practice of Amida-shu Pureland Buddhism. We aim to meet this goal in a number of ways including (though not limited to):
• Maintaining a web presence
• Providing various resources (distributing the Running Tide periodical of Amida-shu and selected Dharma Talks on CD/MP3)
• Organizing teaching tours in and around North America by Dharmavidya and other Senior Order Members
• On-going planning via the Amida USA Steering Committee and Amida USA Board of Directors
• Spiritual networking via cyber communications with Friends of Amida members (
