An Antidote for Turbulent Times: The Aspiration Prayer of Samantabhadra

Register here to receive access to these recorded teachings, from Dec. 11 through Jan. 31.

The Aspiration Prayer of Samantabhadra is particularly powerful during times of great disruption.  Nalandabodhi Seattle is grateful for the opportunity to offer recently recorded teachings by Mitra Dean Karl Brunnhölzl in which he illuminates the power of this prayer.

This four part series is based on his recently published book, A Lullaby to Awaken the Heart in which he shares the in-depth meaning and symbolism of each stanza of the aspiration. In times of great disruption it is easy to slip into destructive habits – fear, denial, confusion, negativity or a sense of righteousness. The Aspiration Prayer of Samantabhadra is the antidote to these delusions.

Copies of A Lullaby to Awaken the Heart are available through the Nalanda Store

Todos somos responsables

la karunika Adela Iglesias, miembro de la Comunidad Hispana de Nalandabodhi, escribe: “El karma colectivo moldea las consecuencias éticas, sociales e incluso sanitarias de las comunidades, influyendo tanto en el sufrimiento como en el bienestar. Dicho de otro modo, a través de nuestras acciones como un grupo, moldeamos los contornos de nuestra mente y del mundo que habitamos”.
