About this event

What is prayer? Why do we need to pray? Who do we pray to? How do we pray? How can we increase the power of our prayer?

Prayers or chanted meditation (pujas) are a profound part of training in a spiritual life.  They help us still our mind, connect with the Buddhas, and receive the inspiring energy of blessings.  We as Buddhists can practically solve problems and conflicts of the world through praying. Venerable Geshe Kelsang Gyatso said, "Our job is, we pray, we pray for obstacles to be pacified. We pray for people to pacify their negativity, wrong views, their extreme views, through prayer. Our job to solve these kinds of problems is we pray for everybody to become friends. To have harmony, good relationships, to pacify their wrong views of selfish intention. This is our job. I believe it is the best method to help."
