Special Prayers for World Peace
with Buddhist Teacher sue Darling
Saturday, March 12
10:00-11:15am
At the suggestion of Venerable Geshe Kelsang Gyatso Rinpoche, a special Prayers for World Peace was held last week at Manjushri KMC led by Gen-la Kelsang Dekyong, the General Spiritual Director of NKT-IKBU, to pray for peace in the world at this time.
Based on the teachings of Venerable Geshe-la, Gen-la explained that in such situations our job as spiritual practitioners is to pray - to pray with confidence knowing that prayers work.
In this special event, Sue will give a brief commentary to Gen-la's teaching and guide us through the Prayers for World Peace practice.

About the Center
Getting to the Center is simple. We're on the corner of Franklin Ave and Kenmore in the neighborhood of Los Feliz. Street parking is available in the surrounding neighborhoods, usually within a block or two of the Center's front door.
Originally a church built in 1937, KMC Los Angeles offers prime visibility on a busy east-west thoroughfare in a popular, trendy section of LA. The Meditation Hall features 25-foot high, vaulted, original wood ceilings, stained glass and seating for 250 people, including a balcony area. There is a small house on the property with three residents, and the second floor of the Temple, behind the balcony, is currently being renovated to accommodate four more residents.
KMC Los Angeles is located in a beautiful, dynamic neighborhood, walking distance from cafes and coffee shops, hiking distance from Griffith Park Observatory, and a short drive to iconic beaches, scenic hikes and the famed Hollywood Boulevard.
