Empowerment and Teachings on Amitayus, the Buddha of Long Life and Prosperity

Buddha Amitayus is a buddha of longevity and vitality. Amitayus embodies the wisdom and compassion of all the buddhas and is inseparable from Buddha Amitabha and Guru Padmasambhava. Among all the aspects of enlightened activity, the compassion of Buddha Amitayus brings forth prosperity and increase, rejuvenating our immune system and life-force as well as nurturing the causes and conditions for ever increasing spiritual qualities and realization.

They show us how to discover our own inner beauty and realize everlasting peace for ourselves and all beings. These simple and profound teachings impart the critical points and central supports for all practitioners to maintain to keep our practice fresh, alive, and beneficial for everyone.
