Amitayus Retreat | Long Life, Merit & Wisdom

December 14 @ 9:30 am - December 16 @ 4:00 pm

R35.00 – R600.00

Amitayus is the Buddha of long life, merit and wisdom – the main qualities we need for the happiness of enlightenment.

 

This three day retreat is an opportunity to focus on the meditation practice of Amitayus, the Buddha of Immeasurable Life, which is a special method for increasing our lifespan, wisdom and merit.

 

The retreat will consist of 3 session of retreat on Saturday, Sunday and Monday.  You can attend the whole retreat or part of the retreat.

 

For those who have attended the Special Empowerment Weekend Course, Infinite Life, this is a wonderful opportunity to maintain the power of the blessing receiving during the Empowerment.  Through engaging in retreat, you are also able to strengthen and deepen your connection with the Buddha of Immeasurable Life.

 

Please arrive at least 15 minutes before the session and maintain a quiet and respectful environment in the Meditation Room.
