The blessing empowerment of Buddha Amitayus & retreat
Increase your lifespan, wisdom and good fortune. Be inspired to reach your potential – a special weekend event.
Our human life is our most precious possession because it gives us the opportunity to improve ourselves and attain the supreme happiness of enlightenment. 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 gives our mind the strength to support the growth of inner realisations. Amitayus is the Buddha of long life, merit, and wisdom. Through receiving the empowerment of Buddha Amitayus and engaging in this practice we can develop these qualities and eventually attain the supreme permanent peace of mind, enlightenment.
Everyone is welcome to join us for this special event.
In-person & online – Please note:

WHAT IS AN EMPOWERMENT?
An empowerment is a blissful guided meditation through which we can receive profound blessings upon our body, speech and mind. It is also a special opportunity to build our connection with enlightened beings who provide us with inspiration and guidance on the spiritual path.
5 REASONS TO RECEIVE AMITAYUS EMPOWERMENT
In these difficult times we can all benefit from a practice that will strengthen our life force. The practice of Amitayus enables us to do this. Our human life is our most important possession; we need a long life so that we have time to gain experience of Dharma.
Wouldn’t it be wonderful to have great wisdom? Then we could gain deep experience of Dharma, enjoy both temporary and ultimate happiness, and know how to help others do the same. Amitayus helps us increase our wisdom.
This practice is also a special method for increasing our merit, the positive, accomplishing energy in our mind.
Amitayus practice presents profound Tantric technology in the most inspiring way – suitable for those unfamiliar, as well as those familiar with it. We’ll find 3 different levels of self-generation in the hidden meaning of the Amitayus sadhana.
Amitayus practice has some extraordinary teachings on how all phenomena are the nature of the mind. Understanding this will liberate us from the ordinary appearances and conceptions that are the root of samsara.
