11am-12:30pm Heart Jewel: Essential Practices of Kadampa Buddhism

Join Kadam Holly as she guides the Friday morning class through an exploration of Heart Jewel, the essential practices of Kadampa Buddhism, a special presentation of Mahayana Buddhism that makes the path to enlightenment accessible to the modern world by showing clearly how we can transform our lives into the spiritual path. In this book, author Geshe Kelsang Gyatso, a meditation master of this living tradition, explains two essential spiritual practices. The first is a special meditation practice through which we can 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, whereby we can gain the inner strength needed to overcome all obstacles to our spiritual practice.

This class is open to all. Everyone welcome.
