  We present a lattice-QCD calculation of the pion distribution amplitudes
using large-momentum effective theory (LaMET). Our calculation is carried out
using five ensembles with 2+1+1 flavors of highly improved staggered quarks
(HISQ), generated by MILC collaboration, at 310 MeV and 220 MeV pion mass with
0.06, 0.09, 0.12 and 0.15 fm lattice spacings. We use clover fermion action for
the valence quarks and tune the quark mass to match the lightest light and
strange masses in the sea. The resulting lattice matrix elements are
nonperturbatively renormalized in regularization-independent
momentum-subtraction (RI/MOM) scheme and extrapolated to the continuum. We
compare different approaches to extract the x-dependence of the pion
distribution amplitudes.
