Other Prayers

Prayers for World Peace

Prayers for World Peace are a beautiful presentation with a modern song format to traditional prayers requesting freedom from suffering and problems, and the attainment of all good qualities, both for ourselves and others.

We perform these prayers from time to time, usually on a Sunday. The session is combined with a talk from a qualified teacher, and guided meditation.
