The Essence of Modern Kadampa Buddhism
Friday Mornings | 10:00am – 11:15am | Gen Kelsang Chokyi
Heart Jewel chanted prayer is the heart of Kadampa Buddhism. For centuries, Kadampa Buddhists have relied upon an unbroken lineage of powerful prayers and meditations designed to quickly increase our compassion, wisdom, spiritual power, and ultimately lead us to enlightenment in one lifetime.
Using the precious text Heart Jewel, Gen Chokyi will explore the origin of Kadampa Buddhism, its founder, Je Tsongkhapa and his Dharma Protector Dorje Shugden, and this special method for receiving blessings, as well as how to establish a daily practice that will enable us to integrate all the teachings into our heart and our daily life.
