Amitayus Long Life Retreat

Amitayus Long Life Retreat

Feb. 22 | 9:00 am – 2:30 pm

Cost: By Donation

We all want to be happy and fulfill all our wishes and the main obstacles to accomplishing this are death and ignorance. Death destroys our opportunity to take the essence of our precious human life and ignorance destroys our opportunity to develop a pure experience of dharma wisdom, which leads to pure happiness and the fulfillment of our wishes.

By engaging in these special chanted prayers to Buddha Amitayus, we can increase our own lifespan, merit and wisdom enabling us to take the real meaning of our human life.

In this annual retreat, Gen Khyenwang will briefly explain and guide some of the meditations in this powerful and beautiful practice, which we can engage in on behalf of ourself and others. You can attend any or all of these sessions.
