'If everyone sincerely prays to be able to cherish others, then gradually through the power of this prayer, everyone will actu ally cherish each other. The world will then be permanently at peace, and pure and everlasting happiness will pervade the entire world.'
-Venerable Geshe Kelsang Gyatso Rinpoche
In these degenerate times it’s more important than ever for people to gather together to pray for peace.
Prayers for World Peace is a practice introduced by Venerable Geshe Kelsang Gyatso Rinpoche to give members of the public an opportunity to visit the centre and join in prayers and silent meditation for world peace once a week.
This public service Prayers for World Peace are led by experienced Kadampa practitioners and have the following format:
10-15 minutes of guided breathing meditation to settle in and clear our mind
Liberating Prayer
30-35 minutes talk and reading
We then recite the prayers (8 minutes) while concentrating on their meaning
Towards the end we remain in silence for 5 minutes for our own personal meditation
The session ends with some concluding prayers
No need to book in advance.
