Amitayus Practice
Prayers for Long Life
Schedule:
Carried out as soon as the monks’ schedule permits. We will notify you when a date has been set.
Description
When we receive your request for Amitayus Practice we will notify the Druplas and monks of your kind offering, and they will pray for the long life of all sentient beings, including yourself and any family members, friends, and loved ones you add to the dedication field below.
The practice of Amitayus (Tsepakmé) is specifically associated with longevity. ‘The Buddha of Boundless Life’, Amitayus is the sambhogakaya aspect of Amitabha. He is usually depicted sitting and holding in his hands a vessel containing the nectar of immortality.
In this teaching, Phakchok Rinpoche explains the benefits of recalling and practicing Amitayus.
You may choose between a standard Amitayus puja or an elaborate version that includes a feast offering.
