1. Daily Prayer Service
At Kyidong Samtenling, our Daily Prayer Service is a gentle yet powerful offering of prayers for peace, compassion, and the well-being of all sentient beings. Held each morning and evening in the prayer hall, these sessions are filled with sacred recitations, incense, and heartfelt intentions. The soothing rhythm of prayer creates a space for calm reflection and spiritual connection.
Whether you attend in person or join us in thought, the blessings from these prayers extend far and wide. We invite everyone—near or far to be part of this daily practice, anchoring each day in mindfulness, gratitude, and the teachings of the Buddha.

Chanting is an ancient and profound practice at Kyidong Samtenling. Through melodious recitation of sacred sutras and mantras, our monks generate vibrations of peace and spiritual clarity. These chants are not just words—they are living teachings, meant to awaken the heart and quiet the mind.
We welcome you to sit in silence during these sessions, allowing the sounds to wash over you and bring calm to your inner world. Whether you seek healing, focus, or simply a peaceful atmosphere, the energy of chanting supports all who enter our temple space.
