We all need a long life. If we lose this life, we shall lose our opportunity to enjoy a human life, to practise Dharma, and to attain liberation and enlightenment. This is why Je Tsongkhapa said that for those who wish to experience pure happiness, the greatest obstacles to the fulfilment of their wishes are death and ignorance. Death destroys our opportunity to take the essence of our precious human life, and ignorance destroys our opportunity to develop a pure experience of Dharma. To overcome these obstacles, we need to increase our lifespan and our wisdom, andthe principal method for doing this is the yoga of Buddha Amitayus.
Amitayus is the Buddha of Long Life, Merit and Wisdom.
By engaging in The Yoga of Buddha Amitayus we can develop these qualities - all essential for our spiritual development - and eventually attain the deathless state of enlightenment.
We can also use this practice to help remove obstacles that endanger the lives of others.
