World Peace Meditation
Friday March 14th, 2008, 7:30 PM – 9:30 PM
Mariandale Retreat Center

Facilitators: Amy Skezas

In person or long distance.

Join with RoseLight and the monks of Ling Khangtsen, who will link in real time with us on the inner planes from Drepung Loseling monastery in southern India to generate energies for inner peace and world peace. These monks meditate in a consistent daily rhythm for world peace and for the enlightenment and benefit of all beings. They are old friends of RoseLight, and have been linking with the RoseLight community in World Peace special meditation events to generate higher energies together since 1991.

To participate, think of an area of your life that you would like to bring to greater peace. You have the potential to be a node of peace for yourself, for the people around you in your immediate family and community, and for the larger world community. Begin with something in your own life that you would like to heal or bring to a higher vibrational level. Look truthfully and carefully inside yourself to see where there may be seeds of conflict, even if there is not active, outwardly expressed conflict in your life. If there is the outer expression of conflict in your life, imagine that beneath all the smoke and heat and entanglements, there are energy patterns or lines of light that are less harmonized, more dense, or more constricted. Imagine you can follow these patterns or lines back, or inward, until you come to a seed of the conflict. It is fine if you don't "know" what it "should" look like; simply imagine it however you do.

Imagine you are bringing these seeds of conflict into a special, quiet, peaceful place that the monks and RoseLight have prepared for you. You can imagine it as the meditation hall in India where the Tibetan prayers are chanted over and over, building a great vortex of light and transformational energy; you can imagine it as the classroom where Athabascar has delivered teachings to you or your friends; or you can imagine it however you do. Bring your seeds of conflict into this open place with the clear intent that you are willing to transform the energy in these seeds and create a higher flow.

On the evening of the meditation, tune in to the meditation if you cannot attend in person. If you are long distance and you wish to participate and you can't make it in "real time," then intend before you go to sleep that you will "download" the energy transmission from the meditation. You can also listen at home to one of the RoseLight Peace meditations.

Donations: These events are an opportunity for remembering the needs of the monks, and sharing our abundance and good fortune that we live in a land that allows us to practice our spirituality as we see fit, and in a place of great wealth and abundance. If you would like to give some money to the monks to support their good works on your behalf and on behalf of all those in need, please send a monetary donation to the Tibetan Lama Fund, Inc.; you can donate via their secure web site using this link, and can read more about the monks there as well. There are constantly new monks escaping from a repressive political regime in their homeland of Tibet, which does not allow them to practice their spiritual vocation, but which tortures and imprisons those who do openly practice. The monastery would be very grateful for your donations to help these young men, who are often quite ill when they arrive, having left their homes, family, and friends to pursue their spiritual calling to serve for world peace in this way. The monastery also needs support for the monks who are already in residence, to help them afford some fresh vegetables, medicine, text books, etc., and the monastery would appreciate any help if you wish to contribute to a general fund that helps pay for sleeping quarters, teaching space, etc., all of which are constantly under "stress" to absorb the influx of refugees. You can "adopt" a monk via the Tibetan Lama Fund website, if you wish to be a sponsor in this way. Thank you for your help with energy, meditation, and practical assistance; may your generosity come back to you a thousand-fold.
