​
Friday, April 26 – Sunday, April 28 | In-person or Online
​
What are the essential qualities of an enlightened being’s mind? Wisdom, compassion and spiritual power. Do we have the potential to develop these wonderful and beneficial qualities within our own minds? Yes, most definitely. The key practice that Kadampa Buddhist practitioners have been using for centuries to accomplish these is reliance upon the Wisdom Buddha Je Tsongkhapa and the recitation of his legendary mantra, known as the Migtsema Prayer. Everyone welcome!

What is Kadampa Buddhism?
Modern Kadampa Buddhism is a special, systematic presentation of Buddha’s teachings particularly suited for contemporary society. This presentation preserves the meaning and intention of Buddha’s original teachings while making them clear and practical in a way that anyone can easily understand and put into practice.
