Prayers for world peace

Sunday |  1:00pm-2:00pm |  TBD

**Once a month. See calander for details.

Prayers for World Peace is a free meditation class that gives us the opportunity to develop a warm and loving heart and to help create both inner and outer peace. By learning to cherish others we can experience greater peace of mind and help establish world peace in general.  Through contemplating these prayers compiled by Venerable Geshe Kelsang Gyatso Riponche, we learn to cherish all living beings.

If everyone sincerely prays to be able to cherish others, then gradually through the power of this prayer, everyone will actually cherish each other. The world will then be permanently at peace, and pure and everlasting happiness will pervade the entire world.

What to expect:
Prayers for World Peace Puja (singing prayers) starts with a brief guided breathing meditation and short teaching, and conclude with singing prayers with a five minutes timeframe to meditate and focus on the meaning of the prayers
