Contemplations From The Liberating Prayer
A 4 week course Starting 20th November
With this beautiful prayer, which we recite at the beginning of all our classes, we make a deep connection with Buddha Shakyamuni, the founder of Buddhism in this world. It helps us to establish refuge in our heart, enabling us to receive powerful blessings that empower us with our spiritual practice, grow our good qualities, ripen our potential and heal our mind.
Through the profound words of this prayer we connect with the extraordinary qualities of enlightened beings and see how we can become just like them.
Everyone is welcome, Buddhist and non-Buddhist alike, Buddha’s blessings are for everyone!
‘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 realisations.’
Venerable Geshe Kelsang Gyatso Rinpoche
