Chanted Prayers
Chanted Prayers
Prayers are special methods for generating positive states of mind and can be used as a basis for successful meditation on any of the stages of the path to enlightenment.
Buddhist prayers are often referred to as ‘sadhanas’, which means ‘ritual prayers for spiritual attainments’. A sadhana is practised by reciting the verses and deeply contemplating their meaning. Through regular practise a sadhana acts as a method for attaining realizations that enable us to progress along our spiritual path.
There is no charge for these drop-in sessions.

How To Take Part In Prayers
Chanted prayers are special methods for purifying negativity, accumulating merit and receiving blessings. They help us to develop and maintain a positive mind and are a powerful preparation for meditation. Everyone is welcome to attend all chanted prayers at Vajrapani KBC, except those that require a Highest Yoga Tantra Empowerment; these are clearly marked above. There is no need to book, and no fee.
