Prayers for World Peace – Reciting Buddha’s Heart Sutra and Meditation on the Wisdom Realizing Emptiness (In-Person or Live-Stream Sunday Mornings 11:00 – 11:50 am, or Live-Stream Recording)
We perform this meditation on behalf of all living beings. The purpose is to rid the world of the virus that is damaging our lives and economies.
In addition, all living beings wish to be happy but find their attainment of happiness frustrated by obstacles or hindrances, both external and internal. The recitation of Buddha’s Heart Sutra using The Great Mother Sadhana (prayer booklet) creates the causes to be free from delusions and disease.
