The 4th Malaysia Monlam Aspiration Prayer for World Peace 2011

Kagyu Monlam is an auspicious event to pray for the spread of Buddhism, world peace and the well beings of all sentient beings. The International Kagyu Monlam is held annually at the sacred site of Bodhgaya, India, at the grand stupa under the Mahabodhi tree, where Lord Buddha attained enlightenment.

It is His Holiness Karmapa's wish that Kagyu Monlam shall be held in many countries to benefit more people. It is our sincere hope that more people will join in this prayer.
