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:Medicine Buddha
DESCRIPTION:By practicing the Medicine Buddha Sadhana sincerely\, we receive a special power of body\, speech and mind\, which we can then use to help others through healing actions\, as presented in this Medicine Buddha Prayer. When the world is pervaded entirely by problems and dangers due to uncontrolled minds and inappropriate actions\, one of the most important practices is that of Medicine Buddha. Medicine Buddha is a Buddha Doctor whose function is to release living beings from outer and inner sickness by bestowing blessings upon them. By relying on Medicine Buddha sincerely\, we can be cured of heavy physical and mental disease\, find release from the internal pain of the three poisons – attachment\, anger and ignorance – and receive protection from many other dangers and obstacles. \nWALK INS WELCOME!  \nThere is no registration for this prayer.
