Feb 27 & Feb 28 | Amitayus Intro Talk & Retreat
We have the opportunity to increase our life span, merit (good karma), and wisdom through the special meditation practice of Buddha Amitayus, the Buddha of Immeasurable Life.
Gen Chokyi will give an introductory talk on Friday night and then we will engage in two sessions of retreat on Saturday. This is an intermediate level retreat with chanted prayers.
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.
