Gen Norden taught how through receiving this empowerment and engaging in the meditation practices associated with Buddha Amitayus we can learn to increase our own lifespan, wisdom, and merit. Through doing so we can swiftly complete the spiritual path for the benefit of ourselves and others.

During the event, the meditations were led by Kadampa Teachers Bonita McCay and Melanie Boyd.

On Saturday 20, there will be a brief retreat on the practice led by Gen Norden combined with a Q & A session.
