Buddhist Retreat

Buddha Amitayus Retreat

Sat 11 Jan – Sun 12 Jan | Various Sessions

An opportunity to gain some experience in the Yoga of Buddha Amitayus, a special method to increase life-span, wisdom and merit.

Amitayus is the Buddha of long life, merit and wisdom – the main qualities we need to attain the happiness of enlightenment. Spending a couple of days in retreat on Amitayus at the start of the year is considered an auspicious way to strengthen our spiritual practice and improve our ability to benefit others.

These sessions are all unguided. For each session, we will engage in the ‘Yoga of Buddha Amitayus’, with time for visualizations and mantra recitation as explained in the sadhana. You will need a copy of the sadhana which is available to order and download from Tharpa UK.

Everyone welcome!

Wonderful oasis of calm in a hectic world. What I've learnt here has helped me and those connected with me, in every aspect of life. The resident teacher, Ai Peng, is knowledgable, helpful and kind, and displays a perfect example of a Buddhist Practitioner. Well worth a visit.

A lovely, peaceful place where it was fantastic to think in a different way and try and clear my mind. Not something I would usually have done in the past - but would definitely come back again when solace is needed or after a busy week.

We attended the teaching 'Dealing with Loss and Change'. It was a wonderful, meaningful experience on death, and one that we will remember and treasure always.

I’ve been visiting this centre for many years now. To say the teachings are life-changing is a huge understatement! Practical advice on dealing with every day problems, all given in a clear and relatable way. I am so grateful for this centre and this Buddhist tradition. read less
