All Lamrim teachings \u2013 renunciation, bodhichitta, and correct view of emptiness are included in this prayer. I can say very few people understand Liberating Prayer. It definitely needs verbal commentary by a Teacher. If we understand and contemplate its meaning \u2013 it is the best method to develop faith in Buddha and his teachings, which is our spiritual life and the root of all Dharma realizations.<\/p>\n<p>\u2013 Venerable Geshe Kelsang Gyatso Rinpoche<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text text_lead=&#8221;yes&#8221; uncode_shortcode_id=&#8221;437803&#8243;]For Buddhists, faith in Buddha Shakyamuni is their spiritual life; it is the root of all Dharma realizations. If we have deep faith in Buddha we shall naturally develop the strong wish to practise his teachings. With this wish we shall definitely apply effort in our Dharma practice, and with strong effort we shall accomplish permanent liberation from the suffering of this life and countless future lives.<\/p>\n<p>Join us for this year\u2019s Asian Festival in Singapore with Gen Kelsang Rabten, the National Spiritual Director of Southeast Asia, Australia and New Zealand. During the Festival, Gen Rabten will grant the blessing empowerment of Buddha Shakyamuni, and share the special transmission and blessing of the Liberating Prayer.<\/p>\n<p>You can attend this festival in-person or online.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row unlock_row_content=&#8221;yes&#8221;
