Long Li fe Amitayus Meditation 19

So all these negative karmas, diseases, and so on in the form of dirtyliquid, scorpions, etc., all fall into the mouth of the Lord of Death.When they enter his mouth, they becomes nectar. He then closes hismouth, which is sealed with a golden double vajra so that it becomesimpossible to open. Then the Lord of Death returns to his own place,

very far away, from where it is impossible to return, and the earthcloses up.Feel that your body has become like crystal. Everything has been

purified. All the obscurations and negative karmas have completelygone. Your body is in the nature of light. Calm and clear. Concentrateon this with strong conviction. This is a particular meditation tech-nique for long life.
