Heart Jewel Retreat: The Essential Practice of Kadampa Buddhism

The essential practice of Kadampa Buddhism is the traditional prayers called Heart Jewel. It is a very special scientific method for receiving spiritual attainments through receiving the blessings of all the Buddhas through our spiritual guide in the aspect of Je Tsongkhapa. It also contains the very precious ancient prayers to the Dharma Protector, Dorje Shugden, who protects us and removes obstacles to our spiritual development. By engaging in this practice regularly, we can make swift and easy progress along the path to Enlightenment.

Each session of this retreat will include a teaching, guided meditation and recitation of Heart Jewel prayers.

Although this is an in-depth retreat, everyone is welcome to attend.
