A long human life is viewed as a great opportunity to seek enlightenment and produce benefits for the world. Thus, Buddhist practitioners often commission rituals and practices focused on elongating their lifespans. The Buddha of Longevity is the most commonly invoked for blessings of longevity, though people can also pray to other enlightened beings such as Tara and Guru Rinpoché (Padmasambhava) to request longer, healthier lives. The tsewang empowerment is based on the visualization of one of these deities.
