Although 17 years have past, the painful memories and effects of 9/11 remain for many in our community. On this day we can come together and take the time to pray and learn how to transform suffering and helplessness into beneficial actions. Join us at Kadampa Meditation Center Long Island for a special evening class where we will learn and practice Buddhist methods of loving kindness to heal and help others.

Please join us for one or all of these sessions:

12-12:30pm – Healing Meditation Class with Laura Anton ($5)

6pm – 6:45pm – Prayers for World Peace (FREE) – Join us as we listen to a beautiful audio recording of prayers compiled by Geshe Kelsang Gyatso from traditional sources for learning how to cherish others. Through cherishing others we can experience greater peace of mind and help to establish world peace in general. If everyone sincerely prays to be able to cherish others, then gradually through the power of this prayer, everyone will actually cherish each other. The world will then be permanently at peace, and pure and everlasting happiness will pervade the entire world. The prayers  include a period of silence which we will use for reflection and meditation.

7pm – 8:30pm – Healing Meditation Class with Bob Rice ($15) – When our mind experiences painful memories or we feel as if there is nothing we can do to help others who are suffering we can take action that will transform our perspective and allow us to be a positive force for our family, friends, and community.  By exploring Buddha’s teachings on love and giving a path to action is discovered.

Everyone welcome! No pre-registration required. No one turned away due to a lack of funds.
