Let's Prostrate Ourselves for the Buddha

The Foundation invites everyone to join in our activity in celebration of the 2,600th anniversary of the Buddha's attainment of Enlightenment this year. We are inviting everyone to pay homage to the Buddha by prostrating ourselves 9 times a day everyday from June 4, which is the Visakha Puja Day, until June 30, 2012.

Those who are interested in joining our activity please notify your intention to participate at 1000tara@gmail.com. We aim at having at least 1,000 participants who are genuinely committed to do the Tibetan style prostration and would very much like to have a record of those who do the prostrations. It's only 9 times each day, which takes only a couple of minutes. This will not only benefit your body (prostrating is a very good aerobic exercise) but will go a long way toward your spiritual practice too. The merit gaines through our collective prostrations will benefit all sentient beings.
