Amitayus Retreat | 31st January – 1st February | with Gen-la Kelsang Kunsang

This annual weekend retreat is an opportunity to focus on the meditation practice of Amitayus, the Buddha of Immeasurable Life. By engaging in this practice we accumulate profound wisdom and extensive merit.

‘Amitayus’ means ‘Infinite Life’ and signifies that by relying on this holy being we will not only overcome the dangers of untimely death in this life, but eventually through Tantric practice attain the pure illusory body – a vajra body that is permanently free from ageing, sickness and death.

Gen-la Kunsang will give an explanation of the practice on Friday evening, followed by 3 sessions of retreat on both Saturday and Sunday.
