Welcome to Jewel Heart Cleveland’s homepage!

Our Tremont center offers experiential classes, workshops, teachings, and special events relating to Gelek Rimpoche’s authentic and accessible Buddhist teachings, as well as enjoyable social and cultural events that nurture our spiritual community. All classes include training in both analytic and concentrated meditation. On most Sunday mornings, we have an informal free dharma talk with guided meditation, followed by tea, coffee, cookies, and fellowship.

The Cleveland Chapter of Jewel Heart began in the late 1980′s, meeting in members’ homes and rented spaces. Since our move to Tremont in 2001, we have greatly expanded our schedule of classes and events. Our center includes a small store with books and other dharma items that is open during scheduled events, as well as a lending library with books, tapes and DVDs available to all.

Please take a look at our most recent newsletter or calendar for coming events. If you have questions that are not answered on this site, please call 216-687-1617 or email cleveland@jewelheart.org.

Best Wishes for the New Year!  As a Tibetan center, we get to have another New Year’s celebration at Losar (Tibetan New Year – watch for details to come) 

January and February programs are now posted. 

Our big news is that Gelek Rimpoche will be giving the Sunday talks weekly in 2012. The series, titled “Tibetan Buddhism with Gelek Rimpoche” will be live video webcast to JH Cleveland and also available to subscribers. After the Sunday talks, we invite all to stay for tea, coffee and conversation from 11-noonish.

Don’t mss the webcast talks by Philip Glass and Glenn Mullin.

Many thanks to all the talented people who contributed work to our Holiday Fundraiser Sale!  While we do not have the final total, the amount raised for Jewel Heart is over $700.
