Amitayus is the Buddha of long life, merit and wisdom. By engaging in Amitayus practice we can develop these qualities, which are essential for our spiritual development, and eventually attain the deathless state of enlightenment.

We can also use this practice to remove obstacles that endanger the lives of others.

The practice can be found in the sadhana The Yoga of Buddha Amitayus, the audio version of which is on the CD Songs of Long Life.
