Sunday morning Prayers for World Peace
Awakening Our Inner Wisdom
with Prayers for World Peace
Sundays
May 6 - 27
10:00am - 11:15am
Wisdom is a mind that sees things as they really are. It overcomes all the distorted minds, such as craving, anger and jealousy, that cause us to suffer. This series of classes will focus on Buddha’s advice on how to develop our wisdom, and in doing so find deep inner peace and confidence.
"Our job is to pray for world peace - anytime, anywhere. With compassion, we make dedications and pray to develop and maintain inner and outer peace and harmony. We know there are so many dangers and problems arising right now, war and terrible things. We try to repair, to pacify, to cause all dangers and obstacles to cease through our prayers. With compassion, we pray every day for world peace, that the people of this world will experience peaceful and happy minds and meaningful lives. Through our pure intention, the power of our prayers and particularly through receiving blessings from enlightened beings, results will come, definitely. Our job is to pray."
- Geshe Kelsang Gyatso, given at the opening of the US Kadampa World Peace Temple, October 2006
