Teachings on the Heart Sutra: Solving All Our Problems With Wisdom
Morden
About This Event
The Heart Sutra captures the very essence of Buddha’s extraordinary wisdom. Though brief, it is one of the most treasured and widely studied of all his teachings. It is vital to increase our wisdom because the more wisdom we have, the less ignorance we have; and the less ignorance we have, the less suffering we experience. On this special course we will explore the meaning of the Heart Sutra to see beyond the distorted thoughts and appearances that are the source of so much anxiety and unhappiness. By deepening our understanding of how things actually exist, we find we can release all our fear and stress at its source. Our mind can remain consistently peaceful, positive, and happy — regardless of what is happening around us. Perfect for beginners and experienced meditators alike.
