Amitayus is the Buddha of Long Life, Wisdom and Merit. There is nothing more precious than our life. Because we have a precious human life we have the opportunity to experience both temporary and ultimate happiness. Je Tsongkhapa said that for those who wish to experience pure happiness, the greatest obstacles fo the fulfilment of their wishes are death and ignorance. Death destroys our opportunity to take the essence of our precious human life, and ignorance destroys our opportunity to develop a pure experience of Dharma. To overcome these obstacles we need to increase our lifespan and our wisdom, and the principal method for doing this is the practice (or yoga) of Buddha Amitayus. This yoga is also a special method for increasing merit.
