The Very Essence of Kadampa Buddhism
Join us for an exploration of Heart Jewel Prayers, the essential practices of Kadampa Buddhism. This special presentation of Mahayana Buddhism makes the path to enlightenment accessible to the modern world by showing clearly how we can transform our lives into the spiritual path.
There are two facets of this special practice:
The first part is a special meditation practice through which we receive blessings and gain the realizations of the path to enlightenment. The second is meditation on the Buddha of Wisdom in the aspect of a Dharma Protector, through whom we can gain the inner strength needed to overcome all obstacles to our spiritual practice.
Anyone can learn to meditate, really. We’re usually just so busy and distracted that it can be hard to believe. But it is possible to gradually improve our ability to quiet and calm our mind through practicing in meditation. It’s just a new skill!
