Preparing for Buddhist Meditation: The Liberating Prayer

Schedule

10-11:15am Session 1

11:45am-1pm Session 2

“Please give me the light of your wisdom to dispel the darkness of my mind and to heal my mental continuum.” - The Liberating Prayer, Geshe Kelsang Gyatso

In all our classes, we do a short prayer called The Liberating Prayer. Some of the verses are easy to understand, but others are not so easy to understand, and some include hidden meanings that require commentary.

This prayer was composed by our Founder, Ven. Geshe Kelsang Gyatso Rinpoche, to be used in our tradition as a way to help us connect with Buddha as a source of inspiration and peace.

In this introductory retreat, our Resident Teacher, Gen Norbu, will share some commentary to The Liberating Prayer. The sessions will also include basic meditations as well as specific meditations on some of the verses.
