Prayer Booklets and Audio

​

Meditation prayers are special methods for generating positive states of mind and can be used as a basis for successful meditation on any of the stages of the path to enlightenment. Tharpa Publications provides a wide range of Buddhist prayers in printed, e-book, and audio format.

​

Buddhist prayers are often referred to as ‘sadhanas’, which means ‘ritual prayers for spiritual attainments’. A sadhana is practiced by reciting the verses while deeply contemplating their meaning. Through regular practice a sadhana acts as a method for attaining realizations that enable us to progress along our spiritual path.

​

The booklets for all of the meditation prayers we schedule can be purchased here at KMC Chicago through a contactless pick up. If you have any questions, or would like to arrange a pick-up time, please e-mail us at info@meditateinchicago.org or call 312-767-1898.
