SUMMARY:Heart Jewel with Silent Meditation
DESCRIPTION:The Heart Jewel prayer and meditation practice is the heart essence of Kadampa Buddhism. It is used by many Kadampas as their main daily practice. \nThrough these beautiful prayers we can overcome obstacles to our Dharma practice and create favorable conditions so that we can nurture and increase our pure Dharma realizations. \nPractice details: In the first part we visualize our Spiritual Guide as Je Tsongkhapa. Then we make prayers and requests to purify any negativity\, accumulate merit\, and receive blessings. A pause for personal silent meditation is included. It is a very meaningful and enjoyable practice\, especially when performed in a group setting.

SUMMARY:Eight Steps to Happiness
DESCRIPTION:Everyone wants to be happy and no one wants to suffer\, but very few people understand what is the real cause of happiness and what is the real cause of suffering. We spend almost all our time adjusting the external world\, trying to make it conform to our wishes. We could change our home or our partner countless times\, but until we change our restless\, discontented mind\, we will never find real happiness. Because ultimately\, it is our mind that determines whether we are happy or miserable. \nIn this series of meditation classes we will explore the profound and practical methods to improve the mind as presented in the book “The New Eight Steps to happiness” by Geshe Kelsang Gyatso
