Meditation and Modern Buddhism

Replay will be available here at 6:30pm CST on Christmas Eve and remain up until Dec 27, 6:30pm

Gen Kelsang Wangpo will give teachings on how we can contribute to world peace by developing a peaceful and compassionate mind. These teachings are suitable for everyone and we welcome all who are interested in increasing their compassion to join us for this special holiday service which will include special prayers for world peace, the company of like-minded people and treats!

The great Buddhist Master, Venerable Geshe Kelsang Gyatso Rinpoche explains:

“Our job is to pray for world peace – anytime, anywhere. With compassion, we make dedications and pray to develop and maintain inner and outer peace and harmony. We know there are so many dangers and problems arising right now, war and terrible things. We try to repair, to pacify, to cause all dangers and obstacles to cease through our prayers. With compassion, we pray every day for world peace, that the people of this world will experience peaceful and happy minds and meaningful lives. Through our pure intention, the power of our prayers, and particularly through receiving blessings from enlightened beings, results will come, definitely. Our job is to pray.”
