Buddhist Prayers for Healing, Living and Dying
Monlam means 'wish-path' - the Buddhist path of helping others through kind prayers. Monlam.org is a service of Ka-Nying Shedrub Ling, a Buddhist monastery in Kathmandu, Nepal, established in 1976. Through this site you can sponsor Buddhist prayers to help yourself and others. Your donations help support monks and nuns who perform the prayers, and help educate young Tibetan refugees. All money raised goes to the monasteries and nunneries, except for the small costs of having a website and using Paypal.

Prayers are performed at Ka-Nying Shedrub Ling and associated monasteries and nunneries. Services are supervised by Chokyi Nyima Rinpoche and Chokling Rinpoche, accomplished teachers of meditation and ritual.

People in Buddhist cultures have relied on the prayers of lamas, monks and nuns, for centuries. Deep wisdom and great kindness make their prayers especially effective. Sacred rituals, originated by highly realized masters, enhance the blessing power of the prayers.

Pujas (Buddhist rituals) are beautiful and powerful. Body, speech, and mind are all involved. Prayers and pujas can involve reciting sutras (sacred texts), chanting mantras (sacred phrases), performing mudras (sacred gestures), visualizing Buddhas and Bodhisattvas (enlightened beings), and offering water, flowers, incense, light, food, music, etc. All these methods generate merit (positive energy, good karma) that helps create good circumstances.

Anyone whe needs help can sponsor prayers. You don't have to be a Buddhist. You can sponsor prayers for healing, long life, prosperity, help for the dying, etc. - Jordan , posted 12/14/05
