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: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: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.
