24HR METTA - Illuminate the world with Metta

24HrMetta is an event for all to come together to chant and radiate metta for world peace, stability and harmony. This round-the-clock event to be held at SJK (C) Sungai Way, Jalan SS 9A/1, Petaling Jaya from 31 December 2011 to 1 January 2012 will be a very meaningful way to celebrate and herald the New Year, focusing on illuminating the world with metta and fostering peace and harmony.

Organised by Aloka Foundation, this meaningful event will commence at 9 am on 31 December 2011 with the Official Opening by Venerable Mahinda, our Chairman and Spiritual Director. The 24-hr non-stop chanting will commence with the first hour chanting (10.00 am to 11.00 am) by members of the Maha Sangha.

Participating Buddhist organisations and groups of devotees from Theravadan, Mahayana and Vajyarana traditions will then take turns to chant the Karaniya Metta Sutta or appropriate sutras/mantras in one-hour sessions until 10 am on 1 January 2011.

The event will come to a fitting end with a Closing Ceremony cum Sanghika Dana at 11 am on 1 January 2011. Members of the Maha Sangha will lead in a special session to dedicate merits of the 24HrMetta for world peace, harmony and stability.
