HEART SUTRA
TUSHITA MEDITATION CENTRE, INDIA
OVERVIEW
The Heart Sutra contains the essence of the perfection of wisdom teachings, describing in a very succinct manner the nature of reality and how to go about cultivating the wisdom realizing the nature of reality, the wisdom of emptiness (Skt. shunyata). Without realizing the nature of reality we will not be able to fully liberate ourselves from suffering.

In this course we systematically go through the Heart Sutra looking at how to develop the correct view of emptiness and how then to cultivate the wisdom of emptiness along the various stages of the path to enlightenment.

“When we apply the principles of quantum physics to the entire universe, as Wheeler and Zeilinger advocate, the whole of nature exists in a quantum superposition state consisting of an infinite array of possibilities. According to Hawking, every possible version of a single universe exists simultaneously in that quantum superposition. When you choose to make a measurement, you select from this range of possibilities a subset of histories that share the specific features measured. The history of the universe as you conceive of it is derived from that subset of histories. In other words, you choose your past.”
