🙏 We warmly invite everyone to join us in this loving-kindness meditation practice. Through this meditation, we can gently release the knots of suffering within ourselves and spread that peaceful energy to our families, our communities, and the world.
This meditation session was recorded on May 9, 2026, during the 24,000 Candles Lighting Ceremony at our Vesak celebration—a sacred evening when thousands of candles illuminated the night and prayers for peace were sent to all beings everywhere.
🍀 The Loving-Kindness Prayer:
May I be well, happy, and peaceful.
May all beings be free from suffering.
May hatred be healed through compassion.
May the world live in peace and loving-kindness.
May this meditation bring peace to all of us. May it soften the hardness in our hearts, ease the tension in our minds, and awaken the compassion that already lives within us. And may the peace we cultivate within ourselves shine outward, touching our loved ones, our neighbors, and all beings throughout the world.
When we heal ourselves, we begin to heal the world around us. When we find peace within, we bring peace wherever we go.
Please take a moment to sit comfortably, breathe gently, and allow these loving-kindness prayers to wash over you like moonlight—soft, healing, and full of hope.
May you and all beings be well, happy and at peace. 🙏✨
