Join Heruka Kadampa Meditation Center Fort Collins for an inspiring hike for World Peace on Sat, May 30 at Lory State Park, followed by a community picnic.
Once everyone arrives around 9am, we'll begin with a short teaching on the power of reciting mantras. Mantra means 'mind protection,' and by mentally reciting the sacred sounds of the mantra of the Buddha of Compassion Avalokiteshvara, we'll collectively be making powerful prayers for world peace while we walk.
We recommend proper footwear, sunscreen or a hat, and water to drink. Bring your cameras for pictures and brunch food for a community picnic afterwards.
Those with a Keep Colorado Wild Pass don't need to buy a parking permit. If you don't have this pass, you will need to buy a $10/day parking pass, which you can purchase at the Lory State Park Visitor's Center upon arrival. The Timber Picnic Area is the first right turn past the Visitor's Center.
Everyone welcome!
