The Golden Light Sutra is one of the most powerful sutras for purification and accumulation of merit.
Lama Zopa Rinpoche explains:
The holy Golden Light Sutra is the king of the sutras. It is extremely powerful and fulfills all one’s wishes, as well as bringing peace and happiness for all sentient beings, up to enlightenment. It is also extremely powerful for world peace, for your own protection and for the protection of the country and the world. Also, it has great healing power for people in the country… This also protects individuals and the country from what are labeled natural disasters of the wind element, fire element, earth element and water element, such as earthquakes, floods, cyclones, fires, tornadoes, etc.
Therefore, with all the problems facing the world, it is extremely beneficial to recite this sutra during the days of miracles.
As Lama Zopa Rinpoche says, “I would like to make this request with my two palms together, to please recite the Sutra of Golden Light for world peace as much as you can.”
Venerable Tenzin Namjong will give an introduction of the sutra and then will give instructions on how to make the recitation of the sutra a complete practice. He will also lead a recitation of the sutra so that people around the world can help bring the tremendous benefits to the various countries of the participants as well as to fulfill the wishes of Lama Zopa Rinpoche.
