The scripture known widely as The Heart Sutra is a concise and enigmatic text that crystallizes the essence of the vast and profound prajnaparamita sutras, setting forth the Buddha’s teachings on emptiness in the Mahayana. As such, the Heart Sutra presents an entry point to a rich path of practice that ripens in buddhahood.

Seminal to Mahayana Buddhist thought and practice, this fascinating text also represents a crucible for understanding seeming contradictions between the Buddha’s teachings as preserved across various Buddhist heritages in Asia.

Join us for an engaging exploration of the context, significance, and ways of practicing the Heart Sutra, spanning three weeks that lead into the Tibetan New Year at the end of February.

$20 suggested donation, no one turned away for lack of funds.

Registration link for zoom link TBD.
