Heart Sutra 2013

The Heart Sutra is one of the most precise, direct teachings given by Buddha Shakyamuni. It is about the heart of being, the true nature of being, the heart of reality, the true nature of reality.

The Heart Sutra is a subtle and profound teaching. If we get a glimpse of its truth and understand its implications, it will impact our lives as the beating of our hearts impacts our existence.

The Heart Sutra is the pillar of the Perfection of Wisdom. Its truth is free from dogma, free from conviction, free from religion itself. The Heart Sutra illustrates the truth to those of us perpetually fooled by our flawed thinking of our external and internal worlds. Our wrong understanding of self, things and events is at the heart of our inability to find and sustain the lasting happiness we are desperate to experience.

With his precise explanations, knowledge and humor, Rinpoche will share with us how we can gain freedom from ignorance, which is the source of our suffering.
