Prayers for World Peace Every Sunday, 10:00–11:00 am with Gen Kelsang Suma Peace will never arise in this world unless we ourselves develop inner peace... Here we focus on cultivating mental peace and then, through our actions and example, sowing the seeds of peace wherever we are. Prayer is a powerful force, and by coming together in this way with peace as our goal we are gathering the conditions for wars and conflict to end, and making positive change in our own and others’ lives. Everyone is welcome to join us for a short teaching, prayers and meditation for world peace. (no set charge, but donations welcome). |
