SUMMARY:Chanted Prayers : Heart Jewel with guided Lamrim Meditation
DESCRIPTION: \n“Through meditating on the stages of the path to enlightenment, or Lamrim, and training the mind, or Lojong, in a regular, systematic way we not only prevent deluded patterns of thinking and feeling from arising, but we also replace them with strong and stable virtuous patterns, based on wisdom rather than ignorance.”\nExcerpt From: Geshe Kelsang Gyatso.\n \nThis short prayer includes two practices revealed by the Wisdom Buddha Manjushri.\nBy engaging in the special Guru yoga practiced in conjunction with Je Tsongkhapa we can purify negativity, accumulate merit and receive blessings, and attain a very special wisdom.\nBy engaging in the special method for relying on the Dharma Protector Dorje Shugden we can overcome obstacles to our practice and create favorable conditions so that we can nurture and increase our spiritual realizations. These two practices are the very essence of Kadampa Buddhism.\nIf we practice 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.\n \nGen Mila will guide a 15 minute Lamrim Meditation ( Meditations that make up the stages of the path to enlightenment) each week from the New Meditation Handbook. \nThe New Meditation Handbook is a practical guide to meditation that teaches us how to make ourself and others happy by developing inner peace, and in this way making our lives more meaningful. Without inner peace there is no real happiness at all. Problems, suffering and unhappiness do not exist outside the mind; they are feelings and thus part of our mind. Therefore, it is only by controlling our mind that we can permanently stop our problems and make ourself and others truly happy.\nThe twenty-one Buddhist meditation practices presented in this book are actual methods to control our mind and experience lasting inner peace. This extremely practical guide is an indispensable handbook for those seeking happiness and meaning in their lives.\n \nFree class, stay for a cup of tea and a refreshment, \n.Everyone is welcome.\n \nHow to join in? \nIn Person at Vajrapani Kadampa Buddhist Center\nThe Woods Shopping Centre, 345 Jan Smuts Ave, Upper level, Craighall Park, 2196\n \nBest place to park?  \nPlease use the Rothesay entrance and use the outside staircase. \nWalk through the passage to the courtyard, we are the shop in the corner\n \nPlease arrive a few minutes before the event starts to register and settle in.  We have a book shop to browse, water on sale.There is secure and ample parking. \nPlease email epc@meditation.org.za for more info.\n \nBecome a monthly member ?
