Prayers for World Peace

In recognition and response to the 40+ armed conflicts that are currently ravaging many parts of the world, and especially the escalation of violence in the Middle East, we will be holding a special service of prayers and practices for World Peace.

This will be a collaborative event bringing together FPMT centres and study groups from across the UK. Geshe Tenzin Namdak will lead the prayers from the Jamyang London Gompa. Please join us online or in-person over zoom. Whether you are based in the UK or further afield, all are welcome to attend this special prayer service.

Medicine Buddha Puja

The seven Medicine Buddhas vowed that their prayers would be actualized during these degenerate times when the teachings of Shakyamuni Buddha are in decline. During this traditional practice we hold in our hearts the suffering of the world and pray for peace, harmony and healing for all life on earth and beyond.

Guru Rinpoche Prayers

These prayers were included among others compiled by Lama Zopa Rinpoche for the purpose of stopping war. Also to prevent famine, disease, and all the dangers of earth, water, fire, and wind, for all these dangers to be pacified immediately. To fill the whole world with perfect peace and happiness, including enlightenment, and to generate loving kindness, compassion and bodhicitta in the hearts of all sentient beings.

Recitation of the Heart Sutra

Lama Zopa Rinpoche explained that the only thing that can directly cut ignorance, which is the root of suffering and samsara, is the wisdom realizing emptiness. Reading and reciting the Heart Sutra is a powerful way to create the conditions for having a direct realization of emptiness.
