SUMMARY:Meditation and Recitation of Solitary Vajrasattva
DESCRIPTION:The practice of cleansing our mind of all delusions and negativity by relying on Vajrasattva\, the Buddha of Purification. Under the influence of deluded minds\, we have engaged in many negative actions\, and as a result we now experience suffering and problems everyday. But we have the opportunity to purify this negativity\, and thus transform our mind and our experience of the world we live in.  \n\n\n\nThe meditation and recitation of Vajrasattva is a powerful practice of purification\, and a quick method to attain future happiness and spiritual realizations. \n\n\n\nEach Thursday\, we offer Vajrasattva Prayers from 6:00 pm to 7:00 pm\, which will be guided by long time practitioner and Foundation Program student\, Lars English.

SUMMARY:Offering to the Spiritual Guide
DESCRIPTION:Offering to the Spiritual Guide is a special Guru yoga of Je Tsongkhapa in conjunction with Highest Yoga Tantra. It was compiled as a preliminary practice for Tantric Mahamudra that is perfectly suited to our modern day lifestyle.  \n\n\n\nThese prayers present all the diverse spiritual practices of the path to enlightenment in a manner that is easily understood and in the order in which they are to be practiced.  \n\n\n\nThe theme is meditation on reliance upon our Spiritual Guide. Within this we focus on all the essential practices of the stages of the path (Lamrim) and training the mind (Lojong)\, and both the generation and completion stages of Highest Yoga Tantra.  \n\n\n\nBy relying on our Spiritual Guide as one with Je Tsongkhapa\, our compassion\, spiritual power\, and especially our wisdom will naturally increase.  \n\n\n\nA complete commentary to this practice can be found in Great Treasury of Merit by Venerable Geshe Kelsang Gyatso.

SUMMARY:Heart Jewel Prayers with Guided Lamrim Meditations
DESCRIPTION:Heart Jewel Prayers and Lamrim meditations are heart practices of the New Kadampa Tradition\, (NKT). They are a daily practice at Kalpa Bhadra Kadampa Buddhist Center and all NKT centers throughout the world. \n\n\n\nThrough practicing Heart Jewel\, we learn how to generate the right state of mind with which to meditate successfully. It empowers\, purifies and\, most importantly\, blesses our mind\, so that we can meditate at much deeper levels and gain actual experience in meditation. \n\n\n\nLamrim meditations are essential Buddhist meditations that guide us step-by-step along the stages of the path towards enlightenment. \n\n\n\nEach Monday\, we offer Heart Jewel Prayers from 4:45 pm to 5:30 pm with a Lamrim meditation\, which will be guided by Gen Kelsang Chondzin.

SUMMARY:Medicine Buddha Prayers
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. \n\n\n\nWhen 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.  \n\n\n\nMedicine 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. \n\n\n\nEach Wednesday\, we offer Medicine Buddha Prayers from 6:00 pm to 7:00 pm\, which will be guided by Gen Kelsang Chondzin.
