Monlam means "wish-path" - the Buddhist path of helping others through kind prayers and thoughts..On the fifteenth day or the full moon day of the first Lunar month, the highlight of Monlam Chenmo would be the "Butter Lamp Festival" .
The 7 days recitation program ended with the MonLam Prayer and here, a tealights & incense are given out to everyone to make their most feverent and sincere wish. Some prayed for peace, happiness and harmony to prevail; others prayed for all sentient beings to be free from inner/outer obstacles and to be liberated swiftly.
It only takes a spark to get the fire going...and soon all those around can warm up in its glowing
Whatever prayers are wished for, may they all come to fruition and all negativities & obscurations purified.
Watchin the wicker praying for a miracle
Infinite blessings of sunlight shining forth in all directions
Selfless gentle murmurings
Happiness in the lotus hearts of hearts fulfilled
Love in any language...
"All phenomena arise from circumstances and because good circumstances can arise through good intentions,whatever we pray for will appear."~ Lord Buddha
