Buddhist Prayers
Chanted Prayers, are known in Sanskrit as “pujas.” Using ancient prayers translated into English, we receive the blessings, protection and guidance of the holy beings. We can make requests for ourselves or for others who need help or protection. These spiritual practices create a strong connection with the Buddhas, and help us purify our negativity and fill our mind with merit, or positive energy.
Prayers are free and open to everyone.

Prayers for World Peace
Sundays Weekly 10-10:30am
In these morning prayers we create the causes to experience internal and external peace. The chanted prayer, or “Puja”, that will be done will be Avalokiteshvara, the Buddha of Compassion.

Vajrasattva Prayers
Mondays Weekly 6-6:30pm
Vajrasattva is the Buddha of purification. Through purifying our negativity, our mind will gradually become happier, our good qualities will increase, and all our mental and physical problems will gradually disappear.

Amitayus Prayers
