Amitayus World Peace Retreat

Friday, January 1 – Saturday, January 2, 2010

Every New Year, Kadampa Buddhist Centres around the world seek to create special causes for world peace. They do this by invoking the blessings of Buddha Amitayus in a short retreat. Sometimes known as the ‘Long-life Buddha’, this Deity is especially powerful in helping us increase our life span, wisdom and good fortune. His blessings, joined with our pure motivation, prayers and mantra recitations, will definitely yield good results.
