Heart Jewel is the heart practice of the New Kadampa Tradition. It is a daily practice (5:15pm weekdays) at KMC NYC and all NKT centers 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.

During this half-day retreat, Alex will guide two sessions of Heart Jewel, with particular emphasis on the Migtsema prayer, along with other prayers we can make daily to Je Tsongkhapa.
