Heart Jewel Prayers
Chanted prayers to develop our inner peace, compassion & wisdom
We hold regular Pujas at Kadampa Meditation Centre Canada. These are ceremonies with beautiful chanted prayers to the Buddhas, or enlightened beings, which help us to receive inspiration and increase our inner peace. By drawing close to the Buddhas, we develop a peaceful mind and awaken our own potential for enlightenment. We develop a peaceful mind, improve our compassion, wisdom and other spiritual qualities. These sessions will include chanted prayers and some silent time for unguided meditation. Everybody welcome!

Heart Jewel is a practice that enables us to overcome obstacles and difficulties on the spiritual path by developing compassion, wisdom and spiritual strength.
It includes two practices revealed by the Wisdom Buddha Manjushri. By engaging in the special Guru yoga practised in conjunction with Je Tsongkhapa we can purify negativity, accumulate merit and receive blessings, and attain a very special wisdom. By engaging in the special method for relying upon the Dharma Protector Dorje Shugden we can overcome obstacles to our practice and create favourable conditions so that we can nurture and increase our spiritual realizations. These two practices are the very essence of Kadampa Buddhism. If we practise them regularly and sincerely, we will reap a rich harvest of pure Dharma realizations, and eventually come to experience the supreme joy of full enlightenment.
An extensive explanation of this sadhana can be found in the book Heart Jewel, by Venerable Geshe Kelsang Gyatso Rinpoche.
