The King of Aspiration Prayers, also called The Aspiration of Noble Excellent Conduct, is a prayer familiar to many Buddhist practitioners. It contains the aspirations of all the buddhas and the bodhisattvas. Its power is extraordinary. It lifts us beyond daily mundane concerns and into the activities of bodhisattvas who seek to alleviate the misery of all sentient beings. Instead of seeing our limitations, we are given a glimpse of our Buddha nature. As Achaya Tashi will explain in this series, the verses of the prayer describe our potential to become fully enlightened beings. Its recitation offers our lives renewed meaning and purpose.
In this five week series of teachings, Acharya Tashi Wangchuck will finish teaching The King of Aspiration Prayers. The prayer itself is rich in imagery and symbolism that, once explained, can deepen our appreciation and understanding of the verses.
