The Buddha heart lineage is that of Tien Tai Buddhism. The Tien Tai lineage is eclectic and embraces all forms of Buddhist practice and in our case includes teachings from Tibetan, Chinese and Japanese Buddhist traditions. Consequently, Buddha Heart includes many diverse teachings and practices without conflict.

Buddha Heart public practices include meditations for body, speech, and mind (qigong or yoga, chanting, and sitting meditation).
