Heart Jewel Prayers with Guided Lamrim Meditations Monday to Friday, 8-9am

Available in-person, and all Centre Members can attend online.

Heart Jewel Prayers and Lamrim meditations are heart practices of the New Kadampa Tradition. They are a daily practice at KMC Ottawa and all NKT centres throughout the world.

Through 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.

Lamrim meditations are essential Buddhist meditations that guide us step-by-step towards enlightenment.

From Monday to Friday each week, we will offer Heart Jewel Prayers from 8 to 9:10am with a special Lamrim meditation, which will be guided by Gen Kelsang Thekchen.
