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.

“…many, many separate arguments, all very strong individually, suggest that the very notion of space-time is not a fundamental one. Space-time is doomed. There is no such thing as space-time, fundamentally in the actual, underlying description of the laws of physics.
That’s very startling, because for what physics is supposed to be about is describing things as they happen in space and time. So if there is no space-time, it’s not clear what physics is about. That’s why this is a hard problem. That’s a serious comment…”
