Heart Jewel is the main practice of Kadampa Buddhists. Originating with the special presentation of Mahayana Buddhism by the great Buddhist Masters Atisha and Je Tsongkhapa, Kadampa Buddhism makes the path to enlightenment accessible to the modern world and explains clearly how to transform our lives into the spiritual path.
In this series we will explore the teachings in the book Heart Jewel and also review the special advice we received at the International Fall Festival. Everyone is welcome to attend these classes.

Meditations for a Clear Mind
Mondays | 7 - 8pm
With Resident Teacher Gen Kelsang Chenma

When the turbulence of distracting thoughts subsides and our mind becomes still, a deep happiness and contentment naturally arises from within.
The meditation on the clarity of the mind is one of the best and most powerful methods to facilitate this shift - allowing us to easily let go of busyness and distraction and to access an experience of mental peace and calm.
In this special weekly series, we will learn step-by-step how to meditate on the nature of the mind - a state of inner clarity that naturally restores our well being and reveals our unlimited potential for growth and development.
