Short Amitabha Sadhana Practice

In this course, Acharya Lama Kelzang Wangdi teaches that meditation on Amitabha, the Buddha of boundless light, can help us enter his pure realm (Tib. dewachen) at the moment of death. In this context, Pure Land is not a place, but rather a state of consciousness, an aspect of the enlightened mind.

We can also perform the Amitabha ritual for the deceased, even if their death took place a long ago. After an introduction to the practice and the topic of death and transition from a Buddhist perspective, the focus is on the practice of the short Amitabha Sadhana.
