Chanted Prayers
Bodhichitta Buddhist Centre, FREE
These prayers are accessible to anyone, and a great opportunity to introduce yourself to Buddhist Practice. The prayers include time for meditation, visualization and mantra recitation. The meditations have a particularly powerful effect on the mind and create strong positive energy that is shared by all. Each meditation emphasizes a different aspect of our practice. For example, the monthly Powa Ceremony is performed on behalf of those who have died, the purpose being to lead countless deceased beings to the Pure Land of a Buddha. By engaging in this practice we create a great collection of virtue, which also leads us into the pathway to the Pure Land of a Buddha.
