Jewel Heart Norcal is now meeting evenings from 6:00-7:30 pm every Wednesday. We are starting a study of “The Foundation of Perfections” which is a practical guide of stages on the path to full enlightenment. The “Foundation of Perfections” is a Buddhist text that we will study, by intimate access to the material through explanation, group discussions, and meditation. The group will use Gelek Rimpoche’s text by the same name as a guide. All are welcome–Buddhist background or affiliation is not required. Meetings are held at a member’s house in downtown Grass Valley.

TRANSFORMING THE MIND THROUGH THE THEATER OF COMPASSION
Chenrezig (Sanskrit – Avalokitesvara or the “one who looks with unwavering eye”), is the Buddha of Compassion, particularly revered in Tibet and called upon during times of challenge and difficulty. The lineage of the Dalai Lamas are said to be emanations of Chenrezig. This weekend, Glenn Mullin will teach from a text by the 2nd Dalai Lama, and help us bring compassion to life through an embodied meditational form.
