Dances of Universal Peace is a practice of prayer and meditation in motion, a celebration of the Divine, of Unity, of our inter-being with all.
"The Dances of Universal Peace and Zikr are an excellent way to prepare for meditation and meditation is an excellent way to prepare for the Dances of Universal Peace and Zikr." ~ Murshid Samuel Lewis
The buddhas surely do sing and dance.
To sing and dance is surely profound practice.
By practicing profound song and dance,
We reach enlightenment - how amazing!
- Khenpo Tsültrim Gyamtso Rinpoche
Sung spontaneously at Tek Chok Ling Nunnery, Kathmandu, Nepal, July 2009.
Lama Zopa Rinpoche, Spiritual Director of the Maitreya Project, once said [about the] Dances of Universal Peace...as he sat in the center of the circle, "Never under estimate the power of what you are doing with these songs and dances. Our air waves are polluted and these sacred chants help to purify the atmosphere for all beings. I will make strong prayers for you to continue your work."
And so it is, with all of our best intentions, the blessings of the Dance work is dedicated for all beings everywhere without exception. - Anahata Iradah, Senior Dance Mentor.
