Heart Jewel Meditation Prayers
with Alexandra Bonano
About This Event
Offered weekly on Wednesdays from November 4 until December 30. To learn more about Heart Jewel practice you can attend the weekly Thursday classes on the practice of Heart Jewel.
Heart Jewel Prayers with Lamrim Meditation
As indicated by its name, Heart Jewel prayers are a heart practice for Kadampa practitioners. Generally every Kadampa tries to practise this sadhana every day. A sadhana is a method to accomplish spiritual attainments. We combine this practice with Lamrim meditations – the 21 meditations of the stages of the path to enlightenment found in ‘The New Meditation Handbook’.
By relying upon the blessings of Je Tsongkhapa as our Spiritual Guide, the protection of Dorje Shugden as our Dharma Protector, and our own training in the 21 Lamrim meditations, our compassion, wisdom and spiritual power shall naturally increase. This is how we enjoy pure and lasting happiness and become a source of peace and happiness for everyone.
Everyone is welcome to join us using the Heart Jewel sadhana (prayer booklet).
What to expect:
- Prayer booklets titled “Heart Jewel” will be provided.
- Before the meditation prayer session begins, the instructor will provide a short 5-min introduction to the practice.
- We will begin with a 5-minute meditation to connect with our heart and cultivate compassionate motivation.
- The prayers are about 45-minutes long and there will be a pause for 20min to guide a Lamrim meditation.
- Optional: After the session, we gather as a community.
