The Energy of Life
Long Life, Wisdom, Good Fortune
Friday, April 3rd 2026 | 7 pm – 8:30 pm
Increase life span, merit (good karma), and wisdom through the special meditation practice of Amitayus, the Buddha of Immeasurable Life. Gen Choma will give a standalone introductory talk on this timeless practice and how we can best appreciate and care for our precious human life. We will then engage in three, drop-in sessions of our Amityaus retreat on Saturday.
Who is Buddha Amitayus?
Amitayus is the Buddha of long life, merit, and wisdom. By engaging in Amitayus practice, we can develop these qualities and also help remove obstacles endangering the lives of others, especially our friends, family, and teachers.
