Dharmachakra KBC | Menlha KMC | Vajralight KBC with Gen Chogyop & Kadam Donna "Please give me the light of your wisdom To dispel the darkness of my mind And to heal my mental continuum."
If we draw close to Buddha, we have a supreme and unchanging friend in our corner at all times. One of the central practices of Kadampa Meditation Centers is the recitation and contemplation of The Liberating Prayer. This beautiful praise to Buddha Shakyamuni, composed by Venerable Geshe Kelsang Gyatso directly for us, is a profound exploration of the nature of enlightenment that allows us to open up to and connect with the blessings of the Buddhas, thereby greatly inspiring us on our own path to enlightenment.
Gen Chogyop and Kadam Donna will guide meditations and share insights based on Venerable Geshe Kelsang's commentaries that will allow us to go deeper in our own contemplations on this beautiful, poetic, inspiring prayer.
"The Liberating Prayer is not an ordinary prayer - It is like a text and has profound meaning. All Lamrim teachings - renunciation, bodhichitta, and correct view of emptiness are included in this prayer. I can say very few people understand the Liberating Prayer. It definitely needs verbal commentary by a Teacher. If we understand and contemplate its meaning - it is the best method to develop faith in Buddha and his teachings, which is our spiritual life and the root of all Dharma realizations." - Venerable Geshe Kelsang Gyatso Rinpoche Session Times & Meditations JUNE 7 FRIDAY Intro - 7:30 - 9pm JUNE 8 SATURDAY Session 1 - 9 - 10:30 am Session 2 - 11:30 am - 1:00 pm Session 3 - 4:30 - 6:00 pm Wishfulling Jewel - 7:30 - 8:30 pm JUNE 9 SUNDAY Meditation - 9 - 10am Prayers for World Peace - 11am - 12:30pm
