Tonight, Geshe Tenley continues his commentary on the prayers we recite at the beginning of class with an explanation of the renowned Heart Sutra. Famed for its direct and succinct explanation of emptiness, the true nature of all existence, it consists of a short exchange between two of the Buddha’s most illustrious disciples, Avalokiteshvara and Shariputra. Although concise, the sutra’s cryptic style almost demands interpretation by a knowledgeable instructor. We are fortunate resident teacher Geshe Tenley will guide us through this compelling text in detail with teachings on it for the next several months.
All are welcome to join in.
The Heart Sutra can be found on page 23 in the Kurukulla Center Prayerbook
