Amitayus Retreat: Prayers for Wisdom & Long Life

About this event
In this blissful one-day retreat we have the opportunity to increase our life span, merit (good karma), and wisdom through the special meditation practice of Buddha Amitayus.

Our human life is our most precious possession because it gives us the opportunity to improve ourselves and attain the supreme happiness of enlightenment, thus being in a position to help everyone! We therefore need a long and healthy life. To engage successfully in spiritual practice we also need wisdom, as well as the merit or good fortune that strengthens our mind and supports the growth of spiritual realizations.

Who is Buddha Amitayus?
Amitayus is the Buddha of long life, merit, and wisdom. By engaging in Amitayus practice, we can develop these qualities and eventually attain the deathless state of enlightenment. We can also use this practice to help remove obstacles endangering the lives of others, especially our friends, family, and teachers.
