Saturday, May 30, 10am EST. Amitayus Long Life practice. Online and in person. Amitayus is regarded as the Sambhogakaya aspect of Amitabha Buddha, the Buddha of Boundless Light. In the traditional Tibetan thangka images, Amitayus is often depicted as red in color as the rays of rising sun, seated in a meditation posture, holding a long life vase filled with the elixir of immortality. “Boundless Life” refers to his blessings and virtue. Join us on Zoom.
Sunday, May 31, 10am EST. Saga Dawa. Online and in person. Practice will consist of a Buddha Sakyamuni offering, Rainfall of Benefit and Happiness practice, and the raising of a prayer flag pole. Join us on Zoom.
