The Liberating Prayer

A Half-day Retreat

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

One of the most central practices at Kadampa Meditation Centers is the recitation and contemplation of the Liberating Prayer. This brief and beautiful praise to Buddha Shakyamuni, composed by Geshe Kelsang Gyatso directly for us, is a profound exploration of the nature of enlightenment that allows us to open up to and connect with the blessings of the Buddhas, thereby greatly inspiring us on our own path to enlightenment

Kadam Morten will guide meditations and share insights based on Geshe Kelsang’s commentaries that will allow us to go deeper in our own contemplations on this beautiful, poetic, inspiring prayer.
