Sunday morning Prayers for World Peace
Love without Expectations
with Prayers for World Peace
Sundays
February 5 - 26
10:00am - 11:15am
Love is the real protector. It brings joy to our heart, and causes us to bring out the best in other people. Sometimes our expectations of others can get in the way and cause us to be frustrated with the people that we love. Buddha explained many ways to transform difficulties so that we can maintain a loving mind, not matter how others behave.
"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."
- Geshe Kelsang Gyatso, given at the opening of the US Kadampa World Peace Temple, October 2006
