Amitayus Retreat – for a long life

The Yoga of Buddha Amitayus Retreat                        

A Special Method for Increasing Life Span, Wisdom, and Merit

on 19th – 20th December 2009, at Mahasiddha Buddhist Centre

    There is nothing more precious to us than our life. Because we have a precious human life we have the opportunity to experience both temporary and ultimate happiness. We usually regard material possessions as very important and put much effort into acquiring them, but in reality our human life is our most important possession.

    We all need a long life. If we lose this life we shall lose our opportunity to enjoy a human life, to practice Dharma, and to attain permanent liberation from suffering, nirvana, and enlightenment. This is why Je Tsongkhapa said that for those who wish to experience pure happiness, the greatest obstacles to the fulfillment of their wishes are death and ignorance. Death destroys the opportunity to take the essence of our precious human life, and ignorance destroys our opportunity to develop a pure experience of Dharma.

    To overcome these obstacles we need to increase our lifespan and our wisdom, and the principle method for doing this is the yoga of Buddha Amitayus. This yoga is also a special method for increasing our merit.
