Heart Jewel Day Retreat
Heart Jewel Day Retreat
The Essential Practice of Kadampa Buddhism
Cost: $25
In this day retreat, we will learn how to engage in this precious daily practice in order to accomplish and protect our own inner qualities like love, compassion and wisdom.
The Heart Jewel prayer and meditation practice is the heart essence of Kadampa Buddhism. It is used by many Kadampas as their main daily practice. Through these beautiful prayers we can overcome obstacles to our Dharma practice and create favorable conditions so that we can nurture and increase our pure Dharma realizations.
The first part of Heart Jewel is a special meditation practice through which we receive blessings and gain the realizations of the path to enlightenment. The second part is meditation on the Buddha of Wisdom in the aspect of a Dharma Protector, whereby we can gain the inner strength needed to overcome all obstacles to our spiritual practice.
