Amitayus Weekend Retreat

What to expect?

Buddha Amitayus, the Buddha of Long Life, wisdom, and merit, has the power to bestow upon us immeasurably long life, profound wisdom and great good fortune. During the retreat, we will engage in beautiful chanted prayers, meditations, and mantra recitation requesting blessings for ourselves and others to enjoy a long, happy and meaningful life. It is traditional for Kadampa centres to engage in a short retreat on this beautiful practice early in the year. The special structure of retreat provides consistent familiarity with meditation, facilitates deep connection to our meditation objects and brings deeper transformation, leaving a lasting positive impact on our life. Because retreat facilitates immersion without distraction it is a powerful method for inner transformation. Those unable to attend the entire retreat can book for individual full days, individual sessions however are not drop-in. As this retreat is not guided we ask that participants attend the introduction. Everyone is welcome although some previous experience of Buddhist practice may be helpful. Sessions last 1 hour • Friday 7:30pm introduction: an explanation of the practice and retreat. • Saturday and Sunday: 9am, 11am 2pm, 4pm (TTP slot will be Amitayus retreat according to HYT) £25 for non-members | £10 for under 25 | free for members
