SUMMARY:Healing Our Unhappiness
DESCRIPTION:Whenever we are prevented from fulfilling our wishes or forced into a situation we dislike—in short\, whenever we have to put up with something we would rather avoid—our uncontrolled mind reacts by immediately feeling unhappy. This uncomfortable feeling can easily turn into anger\, and we become even more disturbed than before. \nSince it is impossible to fulfill all our desires or prevent unwanted things from happening to us\, we need to find a different way of relating to frustrated desires and unwanted experiences. \nIn this series\, you will learn practical methods to transform the energy of unhappiness into positive emotions.

SUMMARY:Wishfulfilling Jewel with food offering
DESCRIPTION:This practice is the heart essence of Kadampa Buddhism. In the first part we visualize our Spiritual Guide as Je Tsongkhapa and make prayers and requests to purify negativity\, accumulate merit\, and receive blessings. This prepares our mind for a 15-minute meditation on the Stages of the Path to Enlightenment. After the meditation we make prayers to our Dharma Protector\, Dorje Shugden. Through this we can overcome obstacles to our practice and increase our pure Dharma realizations. \nThis practice includes a tsog offering so you can bring a vegetarian food or beverage\, packaged or prepared\, as an offering if you wish. Fruits\, vegetables\, cookies\, crackers\, dips\, and bottled beverages include some examples of  common tsog offering items.
