Welcome, Students of Meditation & Buddhist Teachings!

Join us to experience for yourself the continuity of a living tradition of spiritual development.

Our meetup group is the Chicago chapter of Jewel Heart, a Tibetan Buddhist organization based in Ann Arbor, Michigan. Jewel Heart seeks to bring the traditions of Tibetan Buddhism to the West and translate its wisdom and principles into the context of contemporary life.

We offer a graduated study and practice program based on the teachings of Gelek Rimpoche, among the last generation of lamas trained in pre-1959 Tibet. Open to all, these classes are especially intended for those wishing to study the Tibetan Buddhist path in a systematic and in-depth manner. Courses are run in a study group format, including a presentation by the instructor, opportunity for discussion, and guided meditation.

There is no cost or obligation to attend your first class. If you decide to enroll, course fees are generally $10 per session. Complete information about Jewel Heart and the courses offered in Chicago can be found at http://www.jewelheart.org/chapters/chicago/chicago.html.

We are a non-profit, charitable organization.
