Amitayus

Amitayus (Skt., Tib. Tsepame, lit. “Buddha of Limitless Life“) is an aspect of Amitabha (Skt., Tib. Öpame, lit. “Buddha of Limitless Light“); this buddha aspect is used in various meditations (yidam practice or the practice of Conscious Dying [Phowa]).

The meaning of all the different meditations is that we deeply understand impermanence and the precious opportunity to use every moment in order to benefit others, not to waste time. At the
same time it’s also clear for us that we don’t know whether we will have the opportunity in
a future life to continue with our compassionate activity.
