Longevity

Longevity (tshe ring)

• Long-life may be enhanced by the performance of longevity rituals (tshe chog), associated with the deity Amitāyus, or long-life empowerments (tshe dbang), as well as by the recitation of the Sūtra of Amitāyus (tshe mdo). All such practices, including the manufacturing and consumption of long-life pills (tshe ril) may result in the attainment of longevity (tshe sgrub).
