These 24 hours we will be accumulating The Great Cloud of Blessings: the Prayer which Magnetises All that Appears and Exists —so that we may gather the circumstances to support our dharma activities and bring about all the outer and inner circumstances to accomplish our goals.
Most important is to practise with focus and purpose, direct the practice toward creating the perfect interdependent circumstances for the fulfilment of all aspirations and the smooth accomplishment of Rigpa’s projects—so that the victory banner of the Buddha’s teachings may continue to be raised high long into the future.
This day will include a talk to kick us all off by Rigpa’s senior teacher Seth Dye, who will be sharing advice the Rigpa sangha has received from many of our teachers in bringing this prayer alive.
You find an extensive resource-page for the Wang Du prayer here.
Curious about getting involved or supporting the livestream? Find out more here.
The streaming via Zoom will be held from different Rigpa Centres around the world.
Please submit your Wang Dü accumulations during the weekend here.
