Buddha Amitayus Empowerment: The Wisdom of Tantra

We usually regard material possessions as very important, and put much effort into acquiring them, but in reality our human life is our most important possession. With this human life, we have the opportunity to experience pure happiness. But unless we have wisdom we don’t know how to grasp this opportunity to make the most of it, and our death can cut short our efforts to follow the path to pure happiness. We therefore need a method to increase our life-span, our wisdom and our merit. Receiving the blessing empowerment of Buddha Amitayus and engaging in this meditation practice will help us to increase all three. An empowerment is a blissful guided meditation through which we make a connection to Buddha Amitayus and through this we will receive his continual blessings and help. In the afternoon Gen Khedrub will offer an essential commentary to The Yoga of Buddha Amitayus, a special meditation practice containing powerful visualizations and mantra recitation.

Under the influence of anger, jealousy and attachment we have created a great deal of negative karma, as a result we now experience many difficulties and suffering. But no matter how negative our mind is, there is a way to find peace by engaging in purification practice. One of the most powerful purification practices is the Mahayana Sutra of the Three Superior Heaps, also known as The Bodhisattva’s Confession of Moral Downfalls. In this practice, we visualize the Thirty-five Confession Buddhas and practice purification in their presence. Through the power of their blessings and prayers, we can swiftly purify even the heaviest negative actions simply by faithfully reciting their names. In this practical meditation workshop Gen Khedrub will explain the meaning and powerful purifying ability of the 35 Confession Buddha practice and so you can begin to develop the calm and peaceful mind you’ve been searching for.
