The Liberating Prayer

Saturday 26th April, 10am – 3.30pm

The Liberating Prayer, recited at the beginning of our meditation classes and retreats, is a special prayer of praise and request to Buddha Shakyamuni that was composed directly for us by Venerable Geshe Kelsang Gyatso. But what does this prayer mean? 
 
On this course, Gen Kelsang Sherab will share a special transmission and blessing of the meaning of this beautiful prayer. This will include commentary Venerable Geshe-la has given on the meaning of different verses of the prayer over many years.

“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 realizations.” ~ Venerable Geshe Kelsang Gyatso Rinpoche

Join us for this special course to learn about the profound meaning of the Liberating Prayer. 

Everyone is welcome.

‘Please give me the light of your wisdom
To dispel the darkness of my mind
And to heal my mental continuum’
