Entrances:

We know that many will come here, heavily burdened with pain and doubts, with hidden questions and needs. Others will come in confidence and joy.
Help us to sincerely welcome all who seek to know You: to keep the doors of our minds and hearts open to all, never to be locked by prejudice or fear.

Bedrooms:

We know well the destructive power of ambition and consumerism in our world: those with too much wealth and those who starve.

Help us to live here in simplicity and contentment; to resist a greed for the non-essentials; to be grateful for the great gifts of solitude and space - for You alone can satisfy our hearts.

Kitchen - Store Room - Laundry:

The struggle for Power can tear apart families, nations and our whole world, where Status is a false God adored by many.
Help us to re-invest Service with its true dignity. As we work together, to cook, to clean, to maintain 'this' home, may we recognise our work as co-operation with Your continuing work of creation.

Stairways:

Numberless times we go up and down these steps which take us to the 6 different levels of this house. We know the injustice in our societies which divides us into different higher and lower levels of importance.
Help us to see the truth, that each one has an equal value for You: help us to become free of the false judgements of society and to live with integrity in the midst pretence.

Sadhana Room:

Each one has received a body, utterly unique, a wonderful masterpiece of Your creation. In our times the human body has been sadly devalued. Uncountable numbers suffer cruelty and abuse, even small children.
Encourage us in our efforts to grow in knowledge of our physical selves; to deepen our reverence for all human lives; to give back the dignity of Your own Incarnation to those trapped in abuse; because we know that our bodies are Your home on eath.

Library:

The thirst for knowledge, technological skill and inter-personal communication has driven us beyond the limits of our planet. Science has assumed heavy responsibility for human survival. It can lead us into Mystical awareness or total destruction.
Help us as we search for knowledge, or watch reality througt the filters of the Media, to take our own part in freeing society from lies and delusions. Let our knowledge become Wisdom and our perception pure..

Conference Room:

Wisdom is the Divine Universal gift, yet only in our times are the great Religions beginning to relate, not in rivalry, but in mutual respect. It is vital that we learn to transcend the cultural differences of traditions in order to hear You the One who alone is Truth - speak to us in many languages.
Help us Lord - as we study here the riches of our spiritual inheritance - to grow in reverence and clarity of thought: to help remove the barriers of ignorance and arogance we have errected over centuries: to seek You in Purity of heart.

Office:

Many and varied are the gifts of intelligence and hand you have given to us. With these gifts you have also given us the responsibility to develop and distribute the resources of our world.
Help us in our professional lives, to work with enthusiasm, to make decisions with wisdom, to act compassionately towards those whose work nobody appreciates.

Cave of the Heart (Chapel):

This is the Cave of our hearts. This is the Cave of Your Heart. By entering the one, we find access to the Other. Only by remaining in silence and simplicity before You will we reach the Spirit.
So many long to drink these waters - but do not find the way to the Cave. Make us aware that we live at the true Source, and must carry these waters to our sisters and brothers who thirst.

Dining Room:

We become family, community, friends when we prepare and eat our meals together. We know how many children in our world will never know a true family, how many old people eat all their meals alone without a single friend.
Help us, when we share our bread and our lives together here, to recognise with joy the need we have for the challenge and support of each other.
