CREATION & COMPLETION STAGES OF MEDITATION
The program focuses on the creation and completion stages of meditation applied
to the practice of BUDDHA AMITABHA, Lord of the family of the Protector
Avalokiteshvara.
The fruit of proper meditation on the form of Buddha Amitabha and recitation of his sacred Dharani mantra is longevity, freedom from illness, good health, happiness, mental clarity, and increased meditative insight and realization in this lifetime. At the time of death and throughout the bardo, one will naturally follow the path leading to rebirth in the Pure Land of Great Bliss. From there, without deviation, one will complete all stages and paths and swiftly attain supreme and perfect enlightenment. Such are the benefits of meditation and recitation of the mantra of Amitabha, the Buddha of Infinite Light, in the practice of the Pure Land of Great Bliss.
