About Jewel Heart Chicago
Jewel Heart Chicago coalesced to embrace the authentic and accessible teachings of Gelek Rimpoche.
Over the years we have hosted numerous teachers, public events, discussion groups, dharma classes, guided meditations and local sangha celebrations, influenced by Rimpoche’s teachings. Although we lost our dedicated physical space during the pandemic, we continue to seek out and find venues to share the dharma with others.
Last June, in the community room of a local church, we hosted a public talk featuring Jewel Heart Spiritual Director, His Eminence Demo Rinpoche, discussing how to “Choose Compassion Over Fear.”
Then, in Fall, we presented a multi-week course on The Four Noble Truths in a sangha member’s office space. Our sangha group also meets online.
This Spring, on April 26, Demo Rinpoche will deliver another free public dharma talk, “Strong Like a Mountain, Flow Like a River”, at the Bucktown-Wicker Park Branch of the Chicago Public Library. That will be followed by an in-person discussion group, book club, or practical course of study based on the teaching.
