Jewel Heart is dedicated to the preservation of Tibetan Buddhism and to the practice of this rich tradition within the context of contemporary American life. Through activities such as ongoing public programs, study groups, sponsorship of cultural events and retreats, Jewel Heart's principle goal is the fostering of inner development. Its programs teach practical methods for translating the meditative states of love and compassion into effective action.  Jewel Heart's spiritual director, Gelek Rinpoche, is committed to furthering these aims through teaching and practicing the tradition of Je Tsongkhapa and His Holiness the Dalai Lama. Jewel Heart meets every second and fourth Tuesday at 5828 N. Lakewood, Chicago, for meditation and discussion.
