Prayers
"In general, prayers made by an assembly of many practitioners are very powerful and cannot be compared to the prayers of one or two people. The scriptures give the analogy of a broom. If we try to clean a floor with a few bristles we shall make little progress, but if we gather many bristles to make a broom we shall be successful.”
–Venerable Geshe Kelsang Gyatso, from the book Living Meaningfully, Dying Joyfully
There is no need to register for group prayers.
