Maitreya Peace Meditation Around the World
Please join us to encircle the world with loving-kindness.
Maitreya, the Buddha of Loving-kindness: “The very name ‘maitri’ means ‘loving-kindness’... in today’s world, we really need maitri, Maitreya, loving-kindness.”
— His Holiness the Dalai Lama
Many of us are looking for ways to contribute to world peace and to heal the earth. The Maitreya Peace Meditation is a simple method for leading people ‘of every faith and none’ to the very heart of loving-kindness, which is the root cause of peace and happiness for all beings.
We invite you to try the Maitreya Peace Meditation, which you may download here, in nine languages, both as an audio file and as a print out.
We hope you will feel inspired to do this meditation whenever it is convenient for you. Additionally, because there is an extra power that comes from meditating in a group, we have organised special times for the Maitreya Peace Meditation to be conducted at different places around the world.
When we come together, it is easier to motivate to do the practice in the first place and there is a sense of community that makes our experience richer. Please join us to support one another while sending loving-kindness to every corner of our suffering world.
