Heart Jewel Prayers

The practice of Heart Jewel is the heart essence of Kadampa Buddhism. In the first part, we visualize our Spiritual Guide as Je Tsongkhapa and make prayers and requests. By relying on this practice, we can purify negativity, accumulate merit and receive blessings. In this way, we shall naturally accomplish all the realizations of the stages of the path of Sutra and Tantra, and in particular we shall attain a very special Dharma wisdom. This practice includes a fifteen-minute unguided lamrim meditation.

After the meditation, we make prayers to our Dharma Protector, Dorje Shugden. By engaging in Heart Jewel prayers, we overcome obstacles and create favourable conditions for our spiritual practice. In this way, we can nurture and increase our Dharma realizations. (1 hour).

We engage in Heart Jewel prayers, daily at the Centre. Everyone welcome.
