How to Build a Daily Practice: Heart Jewel Workshop in Worcester
LOCATION: Worcester Friends Meeting House
901 Pleasant Street, Worcester, MA 01602
The essential practice of Kadampa Buddhism is a daily practice of Heart Jewel Prayers with Lamrim meditation. This is the defining characteristic of a Kadampa Buddhist.
Heart Jewel is a chanted meditation that is a method for receiving attainments through the practice of the Guru Yoga of Je Tsongkhapa. It also contains prayers to our Dharma Protector, the wisdom Buddha Dorje Shugden, who protects our tradition and removes obstacles from our own spiritual practice. In this Saturday workshop, we will learn how to use these chanted prayers as a guided meditation that connects us with our Spiritual Guide and deepens our understanding of the Lamrim (stages of the path) meditations.

A LIFE BEYOND FEAR
A REGIONAL EVENT IN NEW YORK CITY
In times as stressful and uncertain as the ones we seem to be experiencing more and more often, we may ask, is a life beyond fear even possible?
In truth, fear arises from our mind, not from our environment. The fear and the anxiety that so many experience is not inevitable. If we come to recognize their underlying sources, we can learn to change our relationship to them.
Through the practice of meditation, we can learn to work skillfully with our fear. Instead of allowing it to overwhelm us, we learn to redirect it, so that it moves us towards developing those states of mind that naturally give rise to peace, confidence and a strong sense of purpose.
